After reading through this thread, I have to agree with Kevin here. A
new construct for an L3 network seems like a much better long-term
solution, even if that means a little extra coordination work between
Nova and Neutron.
The things that Kevin listed that would need conditional logic in
Neutron is a good indication in my mind that adding a new construct
(versus modifying the existing L2 network construct in Neutron) is the
better plan.
Best,
