Hi,

Following feedback on the proposed API specification, we are proposing a few changes:


1)       Removing operation: POST /networks/{net_id}/attachments

This is an orchestration operation (see second diagram for 'Create Network<http://wiki.openstack.org/QuantumAPIUseCases#Create_Network_and_Spawn_VM>' use case). It has been suggested that orchestration should be avoided in low-level services in order to ensure each operation is atomic thus limiting rollback issues.

2)       Removing operation: GET /networks/{net_id}/attachments

This operation retrieves all the resources attached to a network. In nova the 'detail' action is typically used for this purpose. It would make more sense to change it into GET /networks/{net_id}/detail which would list all ports with all attributes of ports (including attachments).

I would be more than happy to receive your feedback on the proposed changes.
Also, please feel free to use this email thread to provide further feedback on the API or propose more changes.

Thanks,
Salvatore
