Bug Description

The Nova API doesn't provide a way to differentiate between fixed and floating IPs in the addresses property of an instance. The basic view method should return a flag indicating whether the IP is floating.

I would consider adding it as a part of the os-floating-ips extension. As a workaround, you can get a list of allocated/assigned floating ips for your project from GET /<tenant>/os-floating-ips

If you look at the code, the core nova API is already returning floating IPs there, and knows exactly what they are. Either floating IPs are part of an extension, and so core nova shouldn't be returning them there, or the core nova API can pass that info along to the consumer.

Should I open a bug "nova core doesn't work without the os-floating-ips extension"?

Is this still valid?
