overlay_network_info.ip_pool_info.ip_range.size_specifier	string	The size specification used for the range. This field must be set to ENDING_ADDRESS. Warning: This attribute is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Defines the ways to specify the ending address in an IPv4 address range. Warning: This enumeration is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Value is one of: ENDING_ADDRESS: The end address of the IPv4 address range is specified by providing the IPv4 end address. Warning: This constant is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. ADDRESS_COUNT: The end address of the IPv4 address range is derived from the specified starting address and address count. This option is for future use. It is not supported yet.
