WG There was a discussion in the NVO3 WG meeting in Berlin following strong advice from our Area Director that we need to come to a consensus on converging on a common encapsulation. Two sets of questions were asked: (1) Should the WG move forward with one standards track encap? (2) For a given encap, do you have significant technical objections?
This email relates to the second of these questions. Please refer to the separate email titled “Consensus call on moving forward with single encap” for discussion related to point (1). We would recommend that those not familiar with RFC 7282 "On Consensus and Humming in the IETF" may wish to read it for a fuller understanding of how the IETF handles challenging consensus decisions and why. We would like to determine the consensus on the following points on the list (there is a separate thread concerning point (2)): 1) Does anyone have a significant technical objection to selecting Geneve as the single NVO3 Standards track document? Please be as concrete and detailed as possible as to your technical objection. 2) Does anyone have a significant technical objection to selecting VXLAN-GPE as the single NVO3 Standards track document? Please be as concrete and detailed as possible as to your technical objection. 3)Does anyone have a significant technical objection to selecting GUE as the single NVO3 Standards track document? Please be as concrete and detailed as possible as to your technical objection. Please reply to this email thread on the NVO3 list by 29th July 2016. Please DO NOT use this thread to argue or debate the importance or details of any technical objections that arise. That can be done in other threads. This thread should be used to state your initial objection. Any objections raised will be summarized in an additional email at the end of this consensus call so that the WG can discuss the results in detail. While the list of technical issues has been collected for each encapsulation, the chairs are discussing how to develop an acceptable solution. The goal is to have an answer before IETF 97. The chairs will follow up to the list shortly. Regards Matthew and Sam _______________________________________________ nvo3 mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nvo3
