Hi Xiaohu,

Even though the reference is to campus deployment, there could be a generic 
requirement of routing (l3-gateway),
which may eventually require IP/MAC bindings to be published. Is there any plan 
to include that in the draft.

>>>>(only a single protocol to be deployed that's IS-IS)
Does it refers to single protocol in overlay and underlay ? I think its highly 
subjective to the exact requirements.

Thanks
Saumya.

Hi all,

Due to the success of the NVo3 data encapsulations technology in data center 
networks, more and more enterprises are considering the adoption of this 
technology in their campus networks so as to replace the old spanning tree 
protocols.  Although BGP or Software Defined Network (SDN) controller could 
still be used as the control plane protocol in campus networks, both of them 
seem a bit heavyweight, especially for small and even medium sized campus 
networks.

This draft proposes to use IS-IS as a lightweight control plane protocol for 
NVo3 overlay networks. In this way, the network provisioning is dramatically 
simplified (only a single protocol to be deployed that's IS-IS), which is much 
significant to campus network operators. BTW, it leverages the MAC-Reachability 
(MAC-RI) TLV as defined in RFC6165 to realize on-demand control-plane based MAC 
learning on a per-VN basis, most importantly, without any dependence on the 
multicast capability of the underlay networks.

Any comments are welcome.

Best regards,
Xiaohu

Abstract:
    This document describes the use of IS-IS as a light-weight control
    plane protocol for Network Virtualization over L3 (NVo3) overlay
    networks.  This light-weight control plane protocol is intended for
    small and even medium sized enterprise campus networks where the NVo3
    technology is to be used.
Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
