Public bug reported:

We have a bunch of external shared provider networks that users can
attach a port to and get direct access to the Internet.

We also have a bunch of floating IP networks that users can use for
floating IPs.

The two types of networks are shared and external.


The issue is that our users can't develop code against our cloud to figure out what network to use for floating IPs.

Luckily for us our provider networks use a different
provider:network_type to our floating IP networks so they can do:

search_opts = {'provider:network_type': 'midonet', 'router:external': True}
client.list_networks(**search_opts).get('networks')

But this is not very nice and by no means portable with other openstack
clouds they use.

I think https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1721305 is related to
