This way, the "IPv6 Floating IP" will appear within the Instance it self, not at the L3 Namespace Router as it is with IPv4 today.

Hi Thiago:

An IPV6 subteam in Neutron was formed for the Icehouse release. The
team will have weekly meetings in #openstack-meeting-alt on freenode
Thursday's at 2100 UTV. See the meeting page here [1]. If you're planning
to work on IPV6 in any form, it would be great to participate in these and
help shape the IPV6 direction for Neutron.

Thanks, and welcome aboard!
Kyle
