I agree that the V isn't orthogonal to what we are discussing. There are (at least) two separate kinds of virtualization -
- end point virtualization (e.g. VMs) which is related to but orthogonal to what we are talking about, and - network virtualization - NVO is working on layer 3 network virtualization PBB and other IEEE 802.1Q technologies including VLANs and Provider Bridging are about layer 2 network virtualization. I don't think that it is relevant to the NVO work. It's already covered in IEEE 802.1Q Pat From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Truman Boyes Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 10:54 AM To: Lou Berger Cc: [email protected]; Larry Kreeger (kreeger); Linda Dunbar Subject: Re: [nvo3] NVO3 Terminology changes Let's not re-use NVO for Orchestrator. NVO is already for *Overlay*. Next ... Everything in this WG is about network virtualization, and while there may be underlay and overlay networking concepts being discussed, I think underlay networking parameters that may loosely relate to an overlay virtual network construct can still be described by a NVMA (network virtualized mapping authority) aka Policy server / directory, etc... We are talking about a place to retrieve authoritative information on a network construct. I do not understand the TRILL and PBB statement highlighted above. Nor do I see how "V" is orthogonal to anything we are discussing.
