I've not heard such OpenStack+Ryu deployments. Well, I could say that
I've heard about few OpenStack deployments with such scale.

Ryu node can be co-located with either.

We has been addressing on scalability (and HA) for Icehouse (plan to
release ml2 Ryu code).

The new design is deploying an openflow controller per compute node
(IOW, Ryu agent on every compute node is an OpenFlow
controller). OpenFlow protocol is used only inside a compute node
between Ryu agent and whatever hypervisor OpenFlow switch software
(ovs or something). The plugin passes the information to the
controllers by OpenStack's standard RPC.

Unfortunately, no for now. We've not investigated how Ryu can work
with LBAAS yet. Likely we'll investigate once the ml2 migration work
is finished. We would greatly apprecate if you could give what we need
to do in order to make Ryu work with LBAAS.

Thanks,
