Public bug reported:

Many organizations use complex IP address convention, which is managed
by spreadsheets or documents in order to track IP addresses and prevent
duplicate IP addresses. IP address conflicts is one of the most common
issues that can happen on an enterprise network. Currently, Neutron
provides a pluggable IP Address Management (IPAM) subsystem which allows
flexible control over the lifecycle of network resources.

In Calico where data is routed between compute hosts, it's desirable for
the IP addresses that are used on a given host (or rack) to be clustered
within a small IP prefix. In this case, the routes to those IP addresses
can be aggregated.  This RFE proposes pluggable IPAM support for host-
dependent IP address allocation.  This would allow the user to specify
that Neutron allocates the IP address of the VM based on the host.
