The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Active OAM for use in Geneve' (draft-ietf-nvo3-geneve-oam-16.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Network Virtualization Overlays Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gunter Van de Velde, Jim Guichard and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nvo3-geneve-oam/ Technical Summary Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) is a flexible and extensible network virtualization overlay protocol designed to encapsulate network packets for transport across underlying physical networks. This document specifies the requirements and provides a framework for Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) in Geneve networks. It outlines the OAM functions necessary to monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot Geneve overlay networks to ensure proper operation and performance. The document aims to guide the implementation of OAM mechanisms within the Geneve protocol to support network operators in maintaining reliable and efficient virtualized network environments. Working Group Summary Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? This document was not controversial. No special observations to mention from WG progress. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type Review, on what date was the request posted? No known implementations. There are numerous known implementations of OAM over tunnels e.g. MPLS LSPs, and there are known implementations of Geneve (RFC8926). Although there is no formal record of implementations of active OAM over Geneve, this draft does not make any changes to OAM state machines or protocols themselves, and simply describes how they should be encapsulated. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Matthew Bocci. The Responsible Area Director is Gunter Van de Velde. _______________________________________________ nvo3 mailing list -- nvo3@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to nvo3-le...@ietf.org
