[openstack-dev] [Magnum] Containers and networking

This puts me in mind of a previous proposal, from the Neutron side of
things. Specifically, I would look at Erik Moe's proposal for VM ports
attached to multiple networks:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/vlan-aware-vms .

I believe that you want logical ports hiding behind a conventional port
(which that has); the logical ports attached to a variety of Neutron
networks despite coming through the same VM interface (ditto); and an encap
on the logical port with a segmentation ID (that uses exclusively VLANs,
which probably suits here, though there's no particular reason why it has
to be VLANs or why it couldn't be selectable).  The original concept didn't
require multiple ports attached to the same incoming subnetwork, but that's
a comparatively minor adaptation.
