Hi Tomoe, This is definitely a reasonable thing to want. One of the things we'll be discussing at the summit is a plan for merging Melange and Quantum, in which case, the "attributes" of a port may well include addresses that Melange has allocated, including MAC + v4/v6 addresses. This would mak

Hi everyone, I just looked at quantum code and leaned that quantum port doesn't care about the mac addresses. I think it's true that switch port doesn't necessarily have mac address in general, but normally switches learn mac addresses per port. So I thought it would be useful for some implementat

Hi Michael, Thanks for taking the lead on this. I was curious to know as to what the agenda is on the following sprint topic: "defining a first draft of an API for layer 3 networking support" Is this discussion in the context of Nova or Quantum (probably both)? While on that, I would like to dra
