@Sam, It is in fact discoverable through the API since that is what the "router:external=True" is for. We will update our documentation to be clearer on this point

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to neutron. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743480 Title: [RFE] No way to differentiate beween floating IP networks and external provider networks Status in neutron: Opinion Bug description: 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.
