Open Stack

Hi Carl,

As far as I understand Address Scopes, end user’s algorithm will be next: 
1. Administrator creates an address scope and associate an IPv6 subnet pool with it.
2. Administrator creates Public shared network’s subnet from this subnet pool.
3. Tenant user creates tenant network from this subnet pool and connect it to Public shared network with router
4. OpenStack advertises prefix to the external interface of the router.

It is an actual viability discriminator: subnets, that doesn’t attached are counting as unviable to the external network context.
