Hi Robert,<div><br></div><div> thanks for reply. Currently I am just looking for a way to bring it up for internal trial, so if Quantum is better I will move to that. The only reason that I am still asking for questions about nova-network is because of the document order: I am setting things following the install document, but when it comes to the network part I encountered above confusions. I will check the quantum document to see if anything can be simplified. Thanks again!</div>

In my opinion, if you are going to spend all the time learning a new
product -- i.e. nova network vs quantum. And if you are only
testing a concept, I would spend it upon Folsom and move from Essex
and/or nova network and nova storage. Quantum eases many of the
issues Nova network has or had, but quantum is the system for
support and deployment going forward.... just my 2 cents...<br>

and can not be applied to vif of xcp 1.6 or xenserver 6.1, which
might be a trouble.</div>

appreciated, I have been stuck with install document for several
