Hi Neelakantam,

The essex model for implementing gateway/router is that nova-network
creates these interfaces.  It would be possible to run nova-network in a
VM, but that would be a single VM acting as a router for all tenants,
whereas my guess is that you want a per-tenant VM acting as a router.
 There's no automated mechanism for doing that now, though in Folsom we
will be introducing a plugin model that would support a model where a
per-tenant router is created to be the gateway for each tenant.  No one has
volunteered to do this work though, but I'd love it if someone was
interested.
