I suppose you are talking about this fip64 feature - https://docs.midonet.org/docs/latest-en/operations-guide/content/fip64.html // https://docs.openstack.org/networking-midonet/latest/user/features.html ? Just in case there might be a misunderstanding in what I described ... "floating ip" for IPv4 would translate to "floating prefix" (out of a pool, with a limit on the number of those a tenant might use/request) in my suggested case and the routing sending the traffic of that prefix to an interface. Certainly no single ipv6 addresses / 128 shall be "floating" around or be mapped to a fixed IPv4 to make things even more complicated. It's just a about being able to provide an instance with a global prefix of its own to do networky things. > >> What would be the process of getting such a feature into a working >> specification in case one was interested in implementing this? > > It's outlined in the neutron docs, but basically it starts with a bug > describing the feature you'd like to add, it's then discussed at a > weekly meeting each Friday. > > https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/ussuri/contributor/policies/blueprints.html > > > -Brian Thanks for that immediate pointer. I shall be discussing this with some folks here and might get back to writing one of those blueprints. Regards Christian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
