 Description   

Currently switches are managed by whatever controller node responds first when they connect. There should be a mechanism to allow the OVSDB plug-in to load-balance switches among the controller nodes. (It's probably worth analysing the impact of shard leadership too.)

I believe EOS implementation has a load balancing strategy for distributing the ownership. That need to be explored and tested with the existing cluster code to see if that works out of the box.
