Hi Nir Good question. There's absolutely no reason not to allow more than 2 subnets, or even 2 of the same IP versions on the gateway port. In fact, in our POC we allowed this (or, more specifically, we did not disallow it). However, for the gateway port to the provider's next-hop router, we did not have a specific use case beyond an IPv4 and an IPv6. Moreover, in Neutron today, only a single subnet is allowed per interface (either v4 or v6). So all we are doing is opening up the gateway port to support what it does today (i.e., v4 or v6) plus allow IPv4 and IPv6 subnets to co-exist on the gateway port (and same network/vlan). Our principle use case is to enable IPv6 in an existing IPv4 environment.
Do you have a specific use case requiring 2 or more of the same IP-versioned subnets on a gateway port?
