Thanks for the follow up. I think I am getting it. When you say multi host,
you are refereing to the setting in nova.conf multi_host, correct?
If I want the traffic to be routed through the controller, I should set
that to false, and not install the nova-network on the compute hosts.

Note that if you are using multi-host networks then each compute
node is also a network controller, so nova-network and nova-api will be
required on each compute node.

You can check if openstack-nova-network running on the controller - but
if you are using multi-host networking this is probably irrelevant.

IIRC, if you are using multi-host networks you need to keep in mind that
while each compute node is a network controller - the reverse is also
true. i.e. a node is only a network controller for an instance's tenant
network IF that node has an instance for that tenant running on it. If
there isn't an instance for a particular tenant on a given node, there
may be no bridge for that tenant network, etc. on it. This has to do
with how the networks are provisioned - the bridges are setup where a
tenant network is required, i.e. where an instance has been booted. Also
of course, there is no standalone network-controller.
To get access to your guest, try going through the multi-host node
instead of the "controller" (which isn't a network controller in this
case).
If you *don't* use multi-host then you the network service should only
be required on one host.
