Hi Joel,
So I was urging that we not mandate optimal inter-subnet routing as part of the NVO3 requirements.
If my customers who happen to try my standards based offering to run their 3-tier applications will perform their application level measurements (and trust me - all of them do it these days) and find that my competition offers more optimal data plane results via non standard solution - I will likely loose those customers.
While in L2 VNs going via some randomly placed gateway may be ok in L3 services I am afraid the bar is already much higher today. That actually is one good reason to decouple NVO3 requirements for L2 and L3 VN services and address them separately.
Thx, R. _______________________________________________ nvo3 mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nvo3
