Comment 2 for bug 1401726

Using floating IP (only available for IPv4) makes the test more portable, since tenant networks are not always reachable from the test driver. We could use the project_network_reachable flag [0] to do an extra connectivity check to the IPv6 IP when possible, but I would not remove the ssh over IPv4 floating IP in any case.

I wonder if running this tests in one of the multi node jobs - forcing the two VMs to be hosted on different hypervisors - would already improve the effectiveness of the tests in terms of going beyond the L2 domain.

Sean this is assigned to you, are you looking into this? If not we shall remove the assignee so someone can pickup the work.
