Abstract:
The IETF Network Virtualization Overlays (NVO3) Working Group
developed considerations for a common encapsulation that addresses
various network virtualization overlay technical concerns. This
document provides a record, for the benefit of the IETF community, of
the considerations arrived at starting from the output of an NVO3
encapsulation design team. These considerations may be helpful with
future deliberations by working groups over the choice of
encapsulation formats.
There are implications of having different encapsulations in real
environments consisting of both software and hardware implementations
and within and spanning multiple data centers. For example, OAM
functions such as path MTU discovery become challenging with multiple
encapsulations along the data path.
Based on these considerations, the Working Group determined that
Geneve with a few modifications as the common encapsulation. This
document provides more details, particularly in Section 7.
