Hi Salvatore,

Just want to understand more on Network Node in the below given app_demo
page.

As i see in the setup, it looks like there will be one Quantum Network Node
for one Data centre setup. Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong.

This Quantum Network Node will have all the virtual routers, gateway which
can be created with quantum-l3-agent plugin.

Also my assumption is that this quantum Network Node will serve all the
Tenant virtual gateways and routers created using quantum.

Please give us some more information on this to understand the setup.

Also do we have any specific reason for having quantum Network Node instead
of keeping these plugin on the Controller Node similar to earlier release
like Essex.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Balaji
