Hi, While Quantum manager may communicate with compute nodes using a quantum agent, in some cases when Quantum is integrated with Nova, the agent may not be needed (while it can be used for enhanced services). In this cases, when the Quantum VIF driver (which is part of Nova compute) is used for VM provisioning/terminating/restarting utilizing the existing Nova infrastructure, it may be required to pass parameters from the quantum manager to the Quantum driver. Nevertheless, in current Nova architecture the Nova network does not pass the values returned from the quantum Manager to the compute nodes. I really think that passing the Quantum manager values to the Quantum VIF driver is really important for Quantum agent less implementation and it is quite an easy change to make.
