Larry, Clearly, the intent is not to require that both L2 & L3 services be supported. I agree that this sentence is confusing. I'll check with the other co-authors and clarify what was meant.

One could interpret this to mean that NVEs must support both L2 and L3 mode...but then two sentences previous to that it stated "L2 and L3 VNIs can be deployed in isolation or in combination to optimize traffic flows per tenant across the overlay network." Can you clarify the meaning for the first quoted sentence? If it means that NVEs must provide both L2 and L3 VNI services, then I don't see why that should be so. The NVEs may well provide only L2 services and have end systems connected to them provide the L3 services to interconnect the L2 VNIs.
