failed to list L3 floating ip: %v

Error message

failed to list L3 floating ip: %v

What it means

listL3FloatingIPs wraps the l3floatingip.List AllPages failure when enumerating Neutron layer-3 floating IPs. It fires when the list API call fails (auth, throttling, network) and is retried with backoff before surfacing.
