Title:
  nova-network allows all outgoing traffic

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Having a cloud running with nova-network by default allows all outgoing traffic.
  While you can restrict access to the internet, there is no easy way to restrict VM access to private cloud infrastructure IP addresses.

  For reference, this was tracked for essex-based SUSE Cloud 1.0 
  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=777488 
  filed on 2012-08-27

  VMs route all their traffic 
  through their host's IP in the nova_fixed network

  Since we have asymmetric routing, 
  it is not enough to disable forwarding 
  on the interface used for the admin network
  because replies come in through a different interface.
