<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">I am working on the update of spec. I have two main questions in response to your comments:</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">You recommended to use the generalized “network_segment_ranges” rather than including provider in the DB/API name and description.</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:22.8pt"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">Do you also expect the whole spec to avoid using the “provider” terminology and we pick “network segment range management” as the global subject?</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><b><i><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">[MP>] I think we should try to avoid linking this specifically to provider networks to avoid the same confusion and contention we received with the original spec.</span></i></b><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:22.8pt"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">I proposed an extended to attribute to the resource “networks” which you think is not required, as the network entity already has the “provider” extension that can be used to assign the required provider attributes
upon creation.</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:22.8pt"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">I agree with you. But the initiative of introducing this attribute, is to provide users with admin privilege the ability to specify the underlying provider segment
*<b>range</b>* when creating networks (NOT just a specific segment ID -- what the “provider” extension does). This aims to cover the scenarios described in UseCase III of the spec, which are also proposed in this bp:
<a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/extend-api-for-hpb">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/extend-api-for-hpb</a>.</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:22.8pt"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">Our proposal is related w/ segment range and has a larger scope, which is able to cover the cases described in the cited bp if with that attribute. Do you suggest
that we cover UseCase III in our bp?</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><b><i><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">[MP>] I don’t feel we need to support a range at the network level. I feel the tenant level scope is sufficient and solves the use-cases we have encountered.
If a customer really wants to select a segment ID for a network, they can use the provider extension rather than having it specifically selected from a range. I think we should focus on the main use case of having pools of managed segment ranges that can
either be shared or assigned to a specific tenant.</span></i></b><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
