IMHO admin_state_up = false should bring the network down and the traffic needs 
to be stopped. This is of course a risky operation, so there should be some 
clear warning describing the action and asking the user to confirm that.

With regards to the implementation of this, I think that there is a difference 
between the network admin_state and the individual ports admin_state; setting 
the network admin_state to false should not change the port's state to false. 
Instead, I am in favor of the second solution [1] described by Sylvain in the 
ML. I also included this in the bug.

/Nir

[1] do not change the admin_state_up value of ports and introduce a new field 
in the get_device_details rpc call in order to indicate that the admin_state_up 
of network is down and then set the port as dead
