Matthew Rutkowski  commented on TOSCA-235:
------------------------------------------

Now that we have LoadBalancer Node Type and Endpoint.Public we can show examples of both "floating" IPs which declare no ip_address and fixed IPs that declare (one or more fixed IPs).

Note: we would discourage use of Fixed IPs as this is not compatible with the desired (auto)scaling  characteristics of Cloud compute resources.

> The tosca.capabilities.Endpoint has no way (e.g., property) to declare a Fixed IP.  We could choose to use the "ip_address" attribute as a property and when it is filled in treat it as a Fixed IP.   
> Note: This ip_address property could also be used to reference a known Floating IP from a public network if we have a way to declare it as "floating".
