My management wants me to use a provider network, which I understand to mean that my instances will have IP addresses in the same space as the controller, block storage, and compute node administrative addresses. However, I think that discussing addressing is premature until I have a working virtual ethernet card.<br>

<br></div><div>ml2 is always good :). You'll want a provider network if thats what your management have asked for. Instance IP addresses in provider networks don't have to have much to do with the host machine addresses - they can for instance be a vlan, or a different subnet.<br>
