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.<br><div><span><br></span></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> Have a good weekend.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Artem Dmytrenko<br> <br> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande,
