Hi Robert, thanks for reply. Currently I am just looking for a way to bring it up for internal trial, so if Quantum is better I will move to that. The only reason that I am still asking for questions about nova-network is because of the document order: I am setting things following the install document, but when it comes to the network part I encountered above confusions. I will check the quantum document to see if anything can be simplified. Thanks again!
