Re: Is it possible to have several floating IPs per VM?

 

Hello,

I have asked similar question about floating IPs before, but the Quantum
docs are now updated with section about provider networks.

Can this(multiple IP from same public net) be done if using provider
networks? As I understand from the docs then they map directly to VMs
without fixed ip + nat in the middle. And the user would see real IP
asigned to interface inside VM?
