Hi authors, I do not quite understand the purpose of this draft. But the performance issues listed in section 3.1 may not true if the newly designed NIC is applied. Some vendors are designing NIC to support VXLAN offload, and could provide very good performance. The performance issue will not be a problem with the emerging of newly designed NIC.
In the draft, you did not point out the tested traffic type. The large TCP packet performance is a very important test point. You could refer to link http://networkheresy.com/2012/06/08/the-overhead-of-software-tunneling/. Regards Lizhong
