I have heard of this before, let's see if it makes sense and how it
would be achieved.

** Description changed:

+ This bug was reported like this:
+ 
  I changed network_vlan_ranges configuration in configuration file, and I want changes to take effect without restarting the neutron server.
  It may not be a bug, but restarting the networking service itself could lead to some critical processes to stop temporarily.
  
  As some configurations are subjected to change often, automatic
  reloading of configurations without restarting the whole service may be
  a feasible solution.
+ 
+ However, I think what this is asking for is this:
+ 
+ As an administrator I would like to edit my segmentation range via an
+ API (for vlan that would be network_vlan_ranges, vni_ranges for
+ geneve/vxlan, and tunnel_id_ranges for gre), instead of editing the file
+ in place. It would be beneficial for the admin, because if I run out of
+ my range whilst my deployment is up and running I don't want to cause an
+ operational downtime to expand it.
