There is an openVswitch driver for quantum right now, and i believe Nicira has a proprietary driver available as well, based on OpenFlow. there is a netstack group taht would be a good place to get more involved if you wanted to be involved with developing a quantum driver: https://launchpad.net/~netstack

Su-hun showed a recorded demo of the plugin they developed for Quantum that talked to an NEC OpenFlow controller.  Unfortunately, I have searched around looking for the demo or additional details and have not been successful.  For example, it was not clear if the plugin was going to be contributed to the Quantum project, open-sourced, or kept commercial.
