Hi yong Zheng,
Yes your understanding is right.
We only support ovs driver.
Regarding HA and multi network support, it will be available in kilo.

Public address consumption for north south traffic for compute node is also true. But to address this issue we do have a proposal that is worked out by the l3 sub team.

I hope this clarifies your doubts.

Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Thanks
Swami
