Hi Dan, Nice explanation !!
It will be great if you could explain more on this with example (likewise you have given examples for nova+Quantum Manager) -- > "such that we can expose the Quantum API directly to tenants for network creation and port configuration." A short description would be help !!! or redirect me any link for this.
