Hi, this is a neat project, thanks for sending it out.

I'm really happy to see that you've already performed the Quantum
integration by extending the Open vSwitch plugin.  This work is a great
example of how Quantum can be used to plug in a variety of different
back-end networking technologies.

Going through the docs, everything make sense.  Hopefully you can help
contribute some of those graphics to the main Quantum documentation as
well, as that's an area where our current docs are sorely lacking :)

We can definitely help you get your extensions to the Quantum code into
trunk, probably during the essex-3 timeframe (the essex-2 release is
currently less than a week away, and is already locked down).   I would
suggest creating a blueprint for this on http://launchpad.net/quantum .  If
you have detailed questions about Quantum, you can send them to
netstack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .

It also looks like you have some small nova changes, mostly around the
QuantumManager + OVS vif-plugging.  I think some of them may not
be necessary after some work done by brad in essex-2 around integrating
QuantumManager with L3 + NAT (recently merged into trunk), but we can help
figure that out as well.
