devstack used to support restart with a seperate script. That was remvoed
but when we latter swapped to systemd it almost fixed restart there
are a cloule of things that are not done porperly to allow restart to work
but really we should proably just fix those. some run directores are missng after
the reboot that prevent some wsgi servicces restarting if you correct that i think that
is basically all tha tis needed.

https://www.rdoproject.org/networking/networking-in-too-much-detail/#network-host-external-traffic-kl
this might help. the networking is not exactly fake but if you dont configure your br-ex to have
a port attached and configure your router as the gateway for the 172.24.4.0/28 network you wont have connectivity

you can alternitivly nat the traffic form openstack.

there are some devstack docs on how to configure networing
https://github.com/openstack/devstack/blob/master/doc/source/networking.rst
but basically devstack will not majically make your openstack network routeable on your physical network you have to
do some manual operatoin on your router to make that happen.
