Hi,

I started to add a scenario test to neutron-tempest-plugin for bandwidth 
and for that some placement client to tempest.
I plan to upload (possibly as WIP) first the client part and after that 
the scenario for bandwidth and for routed networks as that one uses 
placement as well.

Regards
Lajos
