Hi Nachi/Akihiro motoki, I am not clear.
Today the L3 Service Plugin does not support the "service_type" attribute to define the provider option. Are we suggesting that we need to include the service_type for the L3 Service Plugin and then we can make use of the "service_type" attribute to distinguish between the "edge" and "distributed". So if I understand correctly, a "provider" router will be an Edge router and a non-provider router will be a "distributed router".
