What I would probably do would be to run KVM+Libvirt+OVS on the one server in 
your lab. Define Libvirt networks that are associated with OVS (the Libvirt-OVS 
integration is fairly well-documented) for the various types of traffic your 
VMs will need---perhaps you'll need a "management network" and a "data 
network". For simplicity's sake, I'd probably use different bridges for each 
network. Then create your VMs and attach them to the appropriate host networks. 
For example, your "switch VMs" running OVS might have two interfaces: one 
connected to a management network (over which they'll talk to the controller 
VM) and one connected to a data network (over which they'll communicate with 
other switches).

I hope this helps.
