About The Floating IPs Extension
================================
The Floating IPs extension enables assigning and allocation of floating IP addresses to instances running in an OpenStack cloud. It is used with the OpenStack Compute 1.1 API to add or remove floating IP addresses on named instances. 

To obtain current information the extensions available to you, issue an EXTENSION query on the OpenStack system where it is installed, such as http://mycloud.com/v1.1/tenant/extension.

Summary of Changes
==================
This extension to the Compute API enables support for floating IP addresses.

To support these new actions, the extension also issues new (faults, headers, resources, states, you name it.)

New Action
----------
This extension uses POST to add or remove floating IP addresses to instances.

Normal Response Code: 202

addFloatingIp

removeFloatingIp

Include the response codes, transitions if applicable, and XML and JSON examples.

New Faults
----------
None

New Headers
-----------
None

New Resources
-------------
This extension provides an os-floating-ips resource extension to do the following:

List a tenant's floating ips::

	GET /v1.1/tenant_id/os-floating-ips/

    # Sample Response:
    { "floating_ips" : [ { "fixed_ip" : "10.0.0.3",
            "id" : 1,
            "instance_id" : 1,
            "ip" : "10.6.0.0"
          },
          { "fixed_ip" : null,
            "id" : 2,
            "instance_id" : null,
            "ip" : "10.6.0.1"
          }
        ] }

    Normal Response Code: 200

Allocate a floating ip to a tenant::

	POST /v1.1/tenant_id/os-floating-ips/

    # Sample Response:
    { "floating_ip" : { "fixed_ip" : "10.0.0.3",
            "id" : 1,
            "instance_id" : 1,
            "ip" : "10.6.0.0"
        }}

    If there are no floating ips available, 400 will be returned, with a 
    message indicating that no more floating ips are available


De-allocate a floating ip from a tenant::

	DELETE /v1.1/tenant_id/os-floating-ips/id

    Normal Response Code: 202

Show a floating ip::

	GET /v1.1/tenant_id/os-floating-ips/id

    # Sample Response:
    { "floating_ip" : { "fixed_ip" : "10.0.0.3",
            "id" : 1,
            "instance_id" : 1,
            "ip" : "10.6.0.0"
        }}

    Normal Response Code: 200

New States
----------
None
