Hi Wanjing
We at PayPal/eBay have integrated with a multi-vendor solution. One of the vendor solution is agent less and off loads all the business logic to a vendor controller that manages the devices.

When the user configure loadbalance via cli or horizon, neutron will send the events(pool, member, vip create/delete event)in the notification info queue and our application will listen to the queue and program the LBaaS box. So far, I have tried to enable the built-in HAProxy LBaaS(enable the service_plugin to be LoadBalancerPlugin and service provider to be haproxy). By doing that , horizon and cli are all enabled and our application can successfully program LBaaS box using the notification events. The problem with that is that there is a haproxy agent running in the background although we are not using its function. But if I don't enable the agent, we can not use horizon. Currently we don't want to write a LBaaS agent of our own. Is there a way to not to use LBaaS agent and still be able to use horizon/cli to configure loadbalance? During openstack summit at vancouver, I saw paypal loadbalance presentation, they use two providers, one is agent , the other is agentless controller, not sure how that controller works, could not find it through googling.
