Hi Nagendra, I read the draft, and have some questions: 1. the NVO3 ping uses 3503 as the destination port, then the transport path of NVO3 Ping would be different with NVO3 tunnel (I am referring to VXLAN tunnel), which means NVO3 ping could not detect the NVO3 tunnel dataplane failure. Do you want to only detect the IP layer failure for the overlay network? 2. The purpose of this draft is to validate the L2/L3 VN context. But as my understanding, you could only detect the existence of the L2/L3 VN context. The validation of L2/L3 VN context would not only include the existence of the entry, but also include the correctness of the output. Maybe I have missed something important in the draft.
