Shall i submit a PR for implementation of this?

[glennmatthews]

Thanks for offering! If you're willing to do so, it would be quite welcome. :-)

We could also enrich a bit more the original Netbox Model, for instance adding a reference to IPAM Prefixes (optional) could help to model some Provider Networks.

@ChrisDeh have you started with this effort? Definitely, this is something we want to add to Nautobot, so we would like to push it forward.

@glennmatthews , taking as reference the current implementation in Netbox for ProviderNetwork, I would like to ask you if it would make sense to you if we add an extra ManyToMany relationship with ipam.Prefix?
Any other suggestion/consideration before starting?

[ChrisDeh]

@chadell I sadly not managed to find any time for starting with this. I've planned to go ahead with this in the second half of december.

I am a colleague of @ChrisDeh and will take care of this 👌🏻
