Hi Harsh,

You'll want to sub-class or otherwise utilize the capabilities in
quantum/db/db_plugin_base.py . This class will store all of the basic L2
network and IPAM data for you, and handle allocation logic. Anything
special that your plugin does beyond this (e.g., allocate a VLAN used to
implement a network, contact remote switches) is plugin specific, and would
be added by your sub-class. Make sense?

For F-2 we'll be updating the OVS plugin to work with v2 API, as its a very
simple example. I expect most other people to work on updating more complex
plugins during F-3, and they can use the OVS plugin as an example.
