Hi,
Thanks for input . Yes the basic issue with us is the single point of
entry/exit to public traffic , you can see as a single point of failure. If
for e.g. your network node goes down , all of VMs would lost the public
access.

I am looking forward for this (old style nova-network) kind of in neutron
in upcoming icehouse release.
