Open Stack

Thank you for everyone!

After some lurking around I found rather unusual way: use external 
networks on per-tennant based with directly attached interfaces. This 
will not only eliminate neutron nodes (as heavy server), but will remove 
NAT and simplify everything for tenant. All we need just a some 
VLAN/VXLANs with few external networks (per tenant).

Tenants will have no 'routers' and 'floatingips', but still will have 
DHCP and other yummy neutron things like private networks with 
overlapping numbering plans.

Future reports follow.
