Benson, I like your elaboration: a specific type of DCVPN: overlay-based with a logically centralized control plane. It would be great if this explanation can be included in the Charter, something like:
“An NVO3 solution is to address a specific type of Data Center Virtual Private Network (DCVPN) that is overlay-based with a logically centralized control plane. The NVO3 WG will develop a set of protocols and/or protocol extensions that address the issues described by draft-ietf-nvo3-overlay-problem-statement consistent with the approach described by draft-ietf-nvo3-framework.” Linda From: Benson Schliesser [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2014 12:57 PM To: Linda Dunbar Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [nvo3] Fwd: DRAFT Charter Update for Discussion Hi, Linda.

Yes, you have done a great job drafting it. I'm not sure if you're serious, or teasing me / being sarcastic, but either way I guess it puts a smile on my face. ;) So the NVO3 is now DCVPN? Since the underlay is IP, will it become another L3VPN? Somebody else asked me a similar question privately, so I want to make sure it's clear... The term "NVO3" refers to a working group. The term "DCVPN" refers to the category of solutions for providing multi-tenancy, etc in a DC environment. There are possibly many technical approaches to designing a DCVPN. Some of those approaches might be based on protocols like BGP, MPLS, etc, which are developed in other WGs. As proposed in the new charter, NVO3 does not own the scope / charter for all work on DCVPNs. Rather, the proposed NVO3 charter is meant to narrow our focus to a specific type of DCVPN: overlay-based with a logically centralized control plane. That being said, is that not clear from the text that we proposed? Is there some specific way that it could be improved? Cheers, -Benson
