Great!

Looking forward to seeing more of this discussion. I've mentioned that I submitted a blueprint request extending ExtraRoute extension to include more routing attributes. It's located here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/extended-route-params/ and it contains editable google doc. I don't know if it is of much use as it talks heavily about extra route extension. Please feel free to copy any part if you would find it useful (e.g. screenshot) or if you would appreciate any help with your blueprint I'd be very glad to pitch in.


Have a good weekend.

Sincerely,
Artem Dmytrenko

Hi Artem

Thank you for your pointing out this.
I'm still thinking about the design. Once I got the draft, I'll share
it in the bp and here..
