Perfect, I'm looking at the fog/openstack/requests/network directory [ct1] and 
seeing what I need in that rubygem, is that what you're talking about?

According the comments in the commit messages, this is hitting the Quantum API. 
This could be a relatively new version of the API however, I'm not sure.

They are definitely of interested. I'll try to pull your branch and take a look

Thank you, that was kind of what I'd determined as well. It appears that the
