There are a number of different deployment options. The ideal setup 
would be something like:

I would suggest having this on a network node. At the moment there is 
not support to run multiple L3 agents on compute nodes. We are currently 
working on a solution for this. Please note that there is no multi host 
support for Quantum at the moment.
