# agent

在 neutron 的架构中，各种 agent 运行在计算节点和网络节点上，接收来自 neutron-server 的 plugin 的指令，对所管理的网桥进行实际的操作，属于“直接干活”的部分。plugin 和 agent 之间进行双向交互，一般的，每个 plugin 会创建一个 RPC server 来监听 agent 的请求。

agent 可以大致分为 core agent、dhcp、l3 和其它（metadata等）。 本部分代码实现各种 agent 所需要的操作接口和库函数。

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://yeasy.gitbook.io/openstack_code_neutron/neutron/agent.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
