Hi Nachi/Akihiro motoki,

I am not clear.

Today the L3 Service Plugin does not support the "service_type" attribute to define the provider option.



Are we suggesting that we need to include the service_type for the L3 Service Plugin and then we can make use of the "service_type" attribute to distinguish between the "edge" and "distributed".





So if I understand correctly, a "provider" router will be an Edge router and a non-provider router will be a "distributed router".



Thanks

Swami
