Section 2.2 state: The NVE functionality could reside solely on the End Devices, on the ToRs or on both the End Devices and the ToRs. Section 4.2.5 state: In the case of ELAN service, it can be switched by a local VM switch or ToR switch and then by a DC gateway. The NVE function can be embedded within any of these elements. Question: Should NVE function reside on DC gateway or not? [ml] It may but it can also be part of a VM switch or ToR. 2. It seems that some DC applications may also require VNI connecting external switch without overlay module. For example, One NVo3 instance connects many Tenant End Systems and also need to connect to Internet. Should the architecture reference model capture this as well? [ml] Sure. We'll try to capture this in the next revision. 3. Some DC applications also require a L2 Tenant instance and L3 Tenant instance interconnection on a NVE. Should the document describe this too? [ml] It does not preclude it... Can you be more specific as to what you would like described? 4. Section 2.3 NVE Service Type. Comment: The service Type associates with Tenant Instance as described in the dp-reqs draft associates, not NVE. [ml] An NVE provides L2 and/or L3 services. The corresponding VNI (which is specific per tenant) is either an L2 or an L3 "context" 5. Figure 5 should be Figure 4 and include multiple Tenant Instances. Figure 6 should be Figure 5. (no draw as Figure 4) [ml] Thanks. We'll fix it. 6. Section 3.2 Service Overlay Topologies. Suggest not use of "a tunnel mesh". IP tunnel provides one hop nature between NVEs but is an aggregated tunnel. [ml] ok 6. It would be nice to align the terms in the framework draft and data plane req. draft since authors are the same. [ml] It is planned. Cheers, Lucy
