Comment 4 for bug 1513879

The existing understanding is that this is how python-neutronclient functions if there is no L3 agent. However, that seems really wrong. Because it means you have to know the topology of the services on the neutron side in order to use python-neutronclient correctly.

That someone defeats the purpose of having a library to access your service. This really should be fixed in python-neutronclient.
