Thanks Dan, Sydney and Logan for your help,

Actually i am already familiar with Quantum features but what i am 
really interested in is the monitoring and QoS apects.
I was reading what happened in folsom summit in this link : 
http://etherpad.openstack.org/quantum-folsom
and my guess is that Quantum will not support the monitoring and QoS 
features in the folsom release. Am i correct ?
