<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you know, much discussion has been around the naming and the url pathing for the ip-usages extension. We also discussed this at the neutron mid-cycle as well. Since we are the ones the made the extension, we use the extension to help with scheduling
in our layer 3 network design. We have no preference as to the url's but the only thing that we want to maintain is the ability to query for all subnets at once. We have a nova scheduling filter that makes a call into the ip-usages extension. Otherwise
every time we provision a vm we would have to make N number of calls to get all the subnets and their usages.</div>

<div>As the specification linked by Assaf has without doubt value for operators, I think the drivers team might consider it for inclusion in the Liberty release.<br>
</div>
Unfortunately the specification and the patch have not received many reviews, but can still be sorted, especially considering that the patch's size is manageable and its impact contained.<br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
Nevertheless, Daniel in his post referred to providing information about usage of IPs in resources like subnets, whereas the patch under review proposes the addition of a new read-only resource called '<span>network_ip_usage'. The only thing I'd change
is that I'd make this information available in a different way.<br>
</span></div>
<div><span>For instance:<br>
</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<span>- through a sub-url of subnets: GET /v2.0/subnets/<id>/ip_usage<br>
</span></div>
<span>- through a query paramer on subnet GET /v2.0/subnets/<id>?ip_usage=True<br>
</span></div>
<span>- making IPs a read only resource GET /v2.0/ips?subnet_id=<id>&count=True<br>
<br>
</span></div>
<span>I think from a user perspective the latter would be the more elegant and simple to use, but it will require additional work for introducing resource counting in Neutron APIs; and for this there's an old spec too [1]. Having operators providing
feedback on how they reckon this is information is best consumed would be valuable.<br>

</span>This sounds like a very useful extension, considering there's really no<br>
quotas for IP addresses and IPs are a scarce resource.<br>
I'm aware of multiple big private cloud operators using custom scripts<br>
to generate reports of available IP addresses.<br>
<br>
I'm pretty sure an extension like this would be great for neutron (I'm<br>
not using nova-network). Considering that most networking scenarios<br>
(flat, provider networks, floating IPs with L3) have subnets as a<br>
resource in neutron, with allocation pools, it seems enough to create an<br>
extension that would provide statistics for a subnet or summary<br>
statistics for all subnets within a network if so requested.<br>
<br>
I can work on a new blueprint version for neutron.<br>
