Hi Brenson,


This statement An NVO3 solution, also known as a Data Center Virtual Private 
Network (DCVPN), does not seem to imply your response 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.



To me it looks like NVO3 and DCVPN are the same thing. Can we instead use your 
response in the opening line?



Regards,

Osama

The proposed charter is so general that there is not much to pick on. 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
