Sorry - catching up. Makes sense. So, then theoretically can one instantiate a call to quantum which can then intern enable a virtual network (for VXLAN) spanning OVS (Nicira's or the public version), and say a vendor specific one like Cisco N1k? On Mon, Aug 6, 2012 at 9:25 AM, Dan Wendlandt

Hi, catching up, and sorry for the request for history... but here it is... What compelled the original decision to be made on enabling only ONE plugin/backend (whatever you want to call it)? Ideally you will want to instantiate multiple services from different vendors etc. Ueno-san's metaplugin

Suffice it to say we're not going to make any drastic changes with the time remaining on F-3, but I think we can talk about this at the Grizzly summit. We actually put a lot of thought into whether IPAM should have a separate plugin or not, and decided that the two where so tightly coupled that i
