The main reason is due to the requirement of each tenant router requiring a public IP address. In order for a tenant to get a floating IP on their instance, it costs me one floating IP for their router. I do not like this Floating IP Tax. :)</div><div><div><br></div><div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 2:26 AM, Kevin Benton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:blak111@gmail.com" target="_blank">blak111@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I think the setup would be the same as I suggested because it provides<br>

I'm not sure what topologies will be supported in the current nova net<br>
migration plans, but it seems like it should be possible to have a<br>
automated transition for this one.<br>
