Hi Larry,

I do remember this discussion and I think this level of details should fall 
within the architecture document and not the framework document.

Thanks,
Marc

Hi Marc,

There was a fairly long email thread (actually a few) on the list regarding 
Tenant System Interfaces and how they relate to the VAPs, especially when the 
NVE is external to a hypervisor (search for threads with TSI in the subject).  
I was hoping the Framework could define TSI and illuminate the relationship of 
TSI to VAP (e.g. cardinality).  I think this is the proper place for this.

Thanks Pat for your feedback.

The framework is meant to provide a high-level view of the main nvo3 
components. The architecture draft, draft-narten-nvo3-arch, is meant to provide 
add'l details.
In this latter draft, there is text about the relationship between hypervisors, 
TS's abd NVE's.

We have the following options:

- Leave the framework draft as is and let the architecture draft provide 
further details
- Cut and paste some text from the architecture draft
- You could provide specific text that you'd like to see included in the 
framework draft (after WG review)

I'm fine either way even if I favor the first option ;-) Let's hear from the WG 
and chairs.

Marc

The framework is in pretty good shape but not quite ready.
I am concerned that the framework is fuzzy on the relationship of hypervisors 
to tenant systems and NVEs. This became apparent during recent discussions on 
the security draft. I looked at the framework and the control plane drafts to 
see what they said before posting. The figures in the framework don't show the 
hypervisor - TS just connects to the NVE when in cases where the TS is a VM the 
hypervisor would be between them.  The figures in the hypervisor NVE draft show 
the hypervisor as containing the VMs but they don't show the TS.
"Hypervisor" only appears in the terminology section in the definition of NVE 
(which says the NVE could be part of a hypervisor virtual switch), in its own 
definition, and in the definitions of server and virtual switch. Clearly the 
role of the hypervisor in the framework should be described beyond that. At 
least, its role in communicating about TSes to the NVE and controlling the 
network behavior of TSes that it hosts (e.g. filtering).
Regards,
Pat
