1) The plugin itself: The plugin uses a database backend (mysql for now) to
- store configuration and mappings that will be used later by the agent.
+ store configuration and mappings that are used by the agent.
2) An agent which runs on the hypervisor (dom0) and communicates with
- openvswitch.
+ openvswitch. The agent gathers the configuration and mappings from the
+ mysql database running on the quantum host.
