PCM: Thanks, I'll take a look at the UTs for these to understand how they work.

PCM: So to be sure that I understand… currently, there isn't a way for an end user to do bulk creation of networks/subnets/ports? To do this, an app would be needed to access the client API?

Also, is there a policy on handling errors with bulk operations? Is it all or none, or best effort? For example, if I want to create 3 networks, and there is an error when creating the second one in the batch, does the first get rolled back? Does the third one get skipped or is a create attempted?
