Open Stack

Hi Rudra, Nachi.

Glad to see this discussion on the mailing list! The ExtraRoute routes are fairly
limited and it would be great to be able to store more complete routing
information in Neutron. I've submitted a blueprint proposing expanding ExtraRoute
parameters to include more information (extended-route-params). But it still
has a problem where routes are stored in a list and are not indexed. So an update
could be painful.

Could you share what attributes would you like to see in your RIB API?

Thanks!
Artem

P.S. I'm OpenStack newbie, looking forward to learning from and working with you!
