Hi Kireeti, Not to push your analogy too far: having several power plug standards means that many (but not all) power supplies eat the cost of supporting both 110V and 220V outlets. The physical "encapsulation" gateway is relatively easy; the semantic translation (transformer from 110<->220) is harder.
What the draft is saying is, let's have a common voltage standard (BGP); we should decide later whether and how and where to do the physical conversion. [[LY]] For the context of power voltage, there are several standard power voltage levels that are necessary for power transportation industry. They exist for technical reason. This is why I ask if there is a technical reason to standardize a set of encapsulations for nv03 in early email. In fact, that you (me too) want one control plane protocol to apply all nvo3 data planes, I think, is the same purpose: simple and avoid interworking. Since we don't disagree here, no need to continually make fun here. :) Lucy Kireeti. _______________________________________________ nvo3 mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nvo3
