WG, The NVO3 working group has adopted three data plane encapsulations: - VXLAN-GPE, - Geneve, - GUE (although the draft is moving to the Intarea WG, we anticipate that NVO3 will still reference this).
We have discussed this situation with Alia and we feel that there is little benefit to the community in publishing all three as standards track RFCs. We would note that the discussion on the drafts has been relatively light since their adoption. There has not been serious discussion about their relative pros/cons (if any), or about the actual usefulness of their extensibility or differentiators. This leaves two options: 1) Publish all of them as informational or experimental, potentially moving one of them to standards track in the future based on implementation/deployment. 2) Pick one now based on technical and/or implementation/deployment criteria. We would therefore like to gain a sense of what the WG would like to do with these drafts. Please post your comments to the list. We also have a slot to on the NVO3 agenda in Berlin where we would like to continue this discussion.
