There is an openVswitch driver for quantum right now, and i believe Nicira has 
a proprietary driver available as well, based on OpenFlow. there is a netstack 
group taht would be a good place to get more involved if you wanted to be 
involved with developing a quantum driver: https://launchpad.net/~netstack
