Routed provider networks

Hi,

I learnt that routed provider networks from the below links:

https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/admin/config-routed-networks.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwQFmzXdqZM

This concept, according to them solves two issues:

1. Large broadcast L2 domains with failure domains

2. If there are multiple L2 provider networks, users are confused, unable
to choose a particular network.

My question is, how does routed provider networks solve the second problem
mentioned above ?  If one user wants to use external network for internet,
how can he choose from this one single routed provider network ?   Or, if
another user wants another provider network, how can he choose that
particular network  ?

Also the  same can also be achieved by creating nova aggregates or
availability zones and
mapping  computes with particular provider network connections and ask
users to use that particular nova AZ, without creating routed provider
networks at all ?

Can someone clarify this for me ?


Thanks
Kumar
