Hi James,
I think actually Kireeti has precisely answered your question. L3VPN
model addresses very well the L3 virtualization requirement IMHO.
Of course I do agree with those who say that PE should reside on the
hypervisor rather then TOR. So rather then asking for yet another
proprietary virtualization protocol you could consider perhaps using a
solution which is standards based yet allow flexible creation of virtual
topologies for the tenant interconnects (both intra and inter data center).
Best regards,
R.
Hi Kireeti,
I don't think you've answered my question. My question was whether there
is any product or prototype currently that has a distributed lNVE.
If I ask the same question about a localized lNVE, I get the following:
>
OVS/Nicira (um, I mean VMWare :-) NVP
Cisco Nexus 1000V and VMWare ESX
VMWare ESX Server Virtual Switch
VSphere Distributed Virtual Switch (the control plane is distributed,
not the NVE termination point).

I'd like to see the same list of products or prototypes for a
distributed lNVE.

Is there any product/prototype currently under development which
anyone is aware of where there is an L3 (not L2) lNVE that falls
into the latter case?
Anyone's boxes that do IP VPNs (RFC 4364) could in principle be used
as an L3 lNVE. However, they vary in their ability to comply with
other requirements of the data center environment.
If you view E-VPNs as L3-ish, that adds to the list.
Kireeti.
