 Hi, Neutrons,
We have desire to have an API for neutron to return ip-margin, or the number of IP still available for use, for each network belong to a tenant.
I have filed a launchpad issue 1503462. This is now marked as duplicate of 1457986.
I am glad to see there are more parties that are interested in this feature. I would like to see how we can coordinate the effort on this feature.We have two use-cases for this feature:
1. To assist nova to select a network when creating a new VM instance.    For this use-case, we like to have a tenant-id in GET request and get ip-margins for all the networks belong to the network.2. To provide information to monitor tools to show the capacities on dash-board. 
 For this use-case, we need to return network name in the response.We also have the implementation and accompanying tempest test scripts.The issue 1457986 is currently assigned to Mike Dorman. I am curious to see where we are on this issue. Is the draft REST API ready? Can we incorporate my use-case input into the considerations.
