Hi,
In fact, we can split Quantum network Node into two categories:
one is for dhcp, which install ovs agent and dhcp agent. We can have one 
such kind of node
one is for l3 agent, we can deal with one external network on one l3 
agent. We can have many nodes of this kind.

Regards,

Yong Sheng Gong
