Adrin,

Thanks for sharing the nice design figure.

A few comments to the figure:

1)      what about VMs (or TES) in DC which are connected by IPSec?  If you 
purchase Private Virtual Networks from Amazon's EC2, you can only connect to 
your VPC (VMs) via IPSec.

2)      What about the VMs under your "Overlay Module" which are not part of 
L3VPN or L2VPN? Are they terminated by the GW or terminated at the "Overlay 
Module"?

3)      In your picture, L3VNI/L2VNI are all terminated at the Overlay Modules. 
Do you mean that L3VPN/L2VPN encapsulations are actually done  by the "overlay 
module"? If yes, then existing L3VPN/L2VPN mechanisms  or solutions are already 
defined. What else is needed then?

Hi Marc/David,

I've attached a "proof-of-concept" design to express the points I have raised.  
Hopefully a picture is worth a thousand words.  It is a PDF file since I simply 
don't have the time to draw it as ascii art.

The illustration tries to capture (1) multiple VN per VNI (and relatedly, 
single interface on TES) and (2) VNIF.  In this POC the L2-based subnet 
comprise of 3 VNs to force VMs to remain in their availability zone (DC) but 
allows them to communicate with other subnets or Internet via gateways in both 
DC (with preference for local DC).  This illustration could represent a single 
tenant of a cloud DC provider or infrastructure owned and operated by an 
enterprise.

The illustration also tries to capture a more mobile L3-based VN where routing 
information is in the form of host-routes with aggregation of those routes at 
the gateways.

Best -- aldrin
