+If we also supply IPAM:

+- ipam needs to be created *after* the network is created
+- ipam is likely to be coupled to netbox (?)

+- when an ipam service is created in etcd, we need to create a new

+- we will need to create a new vxlan device on the routers
+- we need to create a new / modify radvd.conf
+- only after all of the routers reloaded radvd the ipam service is

+If the user requests an IPv4 VM:

+- we need to get the next free IPv4 address (again, netbox?)
+- we need to create a mapping entry on the routers for NAT64
