On Ubuntu, neutron-plugin-openvswitch-agent is the name of the package that supplies neutron-openvswitch-agent. Both the neutron-openvswitch-agent and the neutron-linuxbridge-agent run as driver plugins under the ML2 plugin framework. I'm not sure what the name of the package is for neutron-linuxbridge-agent, and it will vary by distribution. Neutron was originally designed to be modular, with plugins to handle the implementation of the API. The limitation was that only one plugin could run at a time, so ML2 (Modular Layer 2) was developed for running multiple combination of type drivers (VLAN, GRE, VXLAN, etc.) and mechanism drivers (OVS, linuxbridge, 3rd-party mechanisms, etc.). The old style drivers were known as monolithic drivers, as opposed to ML2 plugin drivers.
