<div dir="ltr">Hi Aaron,<br><br>I appreciate your reply.<br><br>Here is some more details on what I'm trying to do:<br>I need to add new attribute to the network resource using extensions (i.e. network config profile) and use it in the mechanism driver (in the create_network_precommit/postcommit).<br>
If I use current implementation of Ml2Plugin, when a call is made to mechanism driver's create_network_precommit/postcommit the new attribute is not included in the 'mech_context'<br>Here is code from Ml2Plugin:<br>

<div><font face="courier new, monospace"> network_id = result['id']</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">...</font></div><font face="courier new, monospace"> mech_context = driver_context.NetworkContext(self, context, result)<br>

<br>So to avoid changes in the existing code, I was going to create my own plugin (which will be very similar to Ml2Plugin) and use it as core_plugin.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Please advise the right solution implementing that.</div>

Usually you wouldn't 'inherit' one plugin in another. I'm guessing you probably wire a driver that ML2 can use though it's hard to tell from the information you've provided what you're trying to do. </div>
