There has been no final decision on whether some or all parts of nova-network will be removed. It will not happen in Grizzly. While Quantum can do many things that nova-network cannot, there are still some use cases that nova-network can do but Quantum cannot. In Grizzly we're working to handle these. Assuming that is achieved, we might consider removing/deprecating some aspects of nova-network in favor of Quantum. At this point, nova-network is frozen in terms of new features, so the cost of maintaining it is relatively low. <div>

Quantum is optional component of the OpenStack. You you can use it or nova-network instead. Folsom release doesn't require Quantum. You should use it if nova-network features are not enough for you or you want to use some Quantum plugin for Open vSwitch or
plugin supported hardware <span></span><br><br>
