Bug Description
At this moment, I miss some detailed examples of when to do what.
In the docs it is clear how to do things. But not what you have to do, to create a working scenario.
For example: I want to create a provider network, with floating Ip's, and have two NIC's. I wasn't able to do this with the current documentation.
The connection of quantum to nova was working. But i wasn't able to make sense if i needed a router, how many networks and subnets (with the quantum command), and what to do with the bridges, interfaces and ports (with the ovs-vsctl command).
I think it will be a good idea to document what you ave to do, and why. Maybe also more about debugging the problems.

In the following quantum command,
quantum net-create --tenant-id $TENANT_ID net1 --provider: network_ type vlan --provider: physical_ network physnet1 --provider: segmentation_ id 1024
provider: segmentation_ id is actually a VLAN id which is used in the network for controller and compute nodes. This same VLAN id is also passed to the physical switch that interconnects controller and compute nodes. Try to avoid use VLAN id 1 since some physical switches do not forward VLAN 1 frames by default.
Thanks.
