Kanzhe, there is a design/FS template here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Design+Document+Temp late
It is not clear to me what is the isolation method that is being proposed here? Is it VLANs? If so, why is there an issue with duplicate Ips? Note that the createNetwork API allows one to specify the cidr of the network. Perhaps a diagram or a pointer to a diagram will help. Note that you will also have to implement the admin API that adds the BVS to CS. Not sure what this line means: "implement() method will invoke quantum app REST APIs to create BVS and interfaceRule." I'm also looking for is a mapping between CS network mode (Nic/Network/PublicIp/VPC) to the BVS API.
