Quantum bandwidth scalability question when limited to 1 network node
I am looking to convert an existing 30 blade cloud from vmware to openstack. The current esxi cloud allows the hypervisors to independently service the network and storage needs of their respective vms. I am currently running openstack folsom using nova networking on each hypervisor in a small 3 server setup. Knowing nova network is being replaced by quantum i was looking into using quantum on the 30 blade environment. I am confused when i see that quantum appears to use a single node to move all traffic in and out of the cloud. If that is true, how can it scale from a network bandwidth perspective? The cloud in question is a corporate development and test resource. All vms must access the internet and cloud users are authenticated external to the cloud and use external terminal servers as launch points into the cloud with (rdp for windows vms) and (ssh/vnc for linux vms). I am new to openstack and may have misunderstood the quantum architecture. thank you.
