I solved my problem without VDE (actually my network was small and including 9 devices), with adding multiple virtual bridges (one virtbr per inter-connecting link) and multiple tap interfaces (one tap interface bound to the corresponding virbr, per connection). Obviously, by using VDE switch we can have a more hierarchical and scalable design for bigger networks. It's silly to explain more, as you know better than me. I just don't know how scalable this solution would be for a network of thousands olive machines.
