I completely forgot that this bug was raised....
so this how 'default quotas' are retrieved in nova:

GET /v2.1/d7960ca10de9478baa1cd2897e63011c/os-quota-sets/d7960ca10de9478baa1cd2897e63011c/defaults

Tenants get "quota sets" that override the default quotas. Neutron applies a similar concept, but it does not differentiate the overriden quotas from the default ones in the response.

GET http://127.0.0.1:9696/v2.0/quotas/d7960ca10de9478baa1cd2897e63011c.json

Will return the quota for the tenant - which will be the tenant default quotas if quotas were never updated for the tenant.
In Neutron there are no tenant-specific defaults - only global ones.
Therefore you can actually leverage what could be regarded as a Neutron bug to get default quotas, doing something like the following:

GET http://127.0.0.1:9696/v2.0/quotas/meh_i_do_not_exist.json

Nevertheless, there is a need for a RFE to make Neutron quota mgmt API consistent with the other major openstack projects.
