Hello operators, I will be talking about the new routed provider network
<https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/networking-guide/config-routed-networks.html>
features in OpenStack at a Meetup
<https://www.meetup.com/openstack/events/239889735/>next week and would
like to get a better sense of how provider networks are currently being
used and if anyone has deployed routed provider networks?

A typical L2 provider network is deployed as VLANs to every host. But
curious to know how how many hosts or VMs an operator would allow on this
network before you wanted to split into segments? Would you split hosts
between VLANs, or trunk the VLANs to all hosts? How do you handle
scheduling VMs across two provider networks?

If you were to go with L3 provider networks, would it be L3 to the ToR, or
L3 to the host?

Are the new routed provider network features useful in their current form?

Any experience you can share would be very helpful.
CM
