      </div>
      <div>But with respect to the Quantum_plugin_base_v2.py code, which
        is the base class for the plugins, We can see the
        create/update/delete network methods only in the quantum plugin.
        But then How about create/update/delete ports and subnet
         methods. These methods do exists in the ryu/nec/nicira plugins.</div>
    </blockquote>
    <br>
    The OVS inherits the base plugin:<br>
    <br>
    class OVSQuantumPluginV2(db_base_plugin_v2.QuantumDbPluginV2,<br>
                             l3_db.L3_NAT_db_mixin):<br>
    <br>
    This means that if it does not need to make changes to the methods
    then the base classes methods will be invoked.<br>
    Thanks<br>

              I am not really sure that I understand your question. The
              Quantum service marshals the API's to a plugin. The plugin
              is responsible for providing the virtual network service.
              In the case of the OVS plugin the ovs_quantum_plugin.py
              will treat the API calls. That means that it will enable
              the user to perform CRUD operations on the following:
              networks, subnets and ports. In order to do this it stores
              the values in a persistent database.<br>
              The plugin has a layer 2 agent that performs the actual
              network configuration.<br>
              Hope that this help.<br>
              Thanks<br>
