Dear NVO3 Contributors -

This message initiates a 1 week last call for comments on the proposed charter. 
The charter has been discussed on the mailing list for about a month, and the 
chairs believe there is consensus to go forward with the current text. We 
intend to submit the proposed charter text to the IESG on 10-Sep-2014. The 
proposed charter text is found at 
http://svn.tools.ietf.org/svn/wg/nvo3/charter-ietf-nvo3-01-rev-20140901.txt and 
is quoted below.

Just a reminder, this last call is not an opportunity to vote. Please do not 
waste time on messages that merely say "support" or "+1". Rather, this is an 
opportunity to raise any material issues or feedback that has not yet been 
addressed on the mailing list.

Matthew and I are thankful for everybody's contribution to the charter 
discussion, and we look forward to making progress in the next phase of the 
NVO3 WG.

Cheers,
-Benson & Matthew

The purpose of the NVO3 WG is to develop a set of protocols and/or protocol
extensions that enable network virtualization within a data center (DC)
environment using an IP-based overlay approach. An NVO3 solution provides layer
2 and/or layer 3 services for virtual networks enabling multi-tenancy, workload
mobility, optimization, management, and security, addressing the issues
described in the problem statement and consistent with the framework previously
produced by the NVO3 WG.

The NVO3 WG will develop solutions for network virtualization based on the
following architectural tenets:
 - Support for an IP-based underlay data plane
 - A logically centralized authority for network virtualization
Network virtualization approaches that do not adhere to these tenets are
explicitly outside of the scope of the NVO3 WG.

In pursuit of the solutions described above, the NVO3 WG will document an
architecture for network virtualization within a data center environment.

The NVO3 WG may produce requirements for a network virtualization control
plane, and will select, extend, and/or develop one or more control plane
protocols to support the architecture. Such protocols are expected to fulfill
the communication requirements between an End Device and Network Virtualization
Edge (NVE), and between an NVE and the Network Virtualization Authority (NVA).
The internal mechanisms and protocols of a logically centralized NVA are
explicitly out of scope of the NVO3 WG.  Architectural issues raised by
coexistence of multiple logically centralized control planes in the same data
center may be considered by the WG. Inter-DC mechanisms are not in scope of
the NVO3 WG at this time.

The NVO3 WG may produce requirements for network virtualization data planes
based on encapsulation of virtual network traffic over an IP-based underlay
data plane. Such requirements should consider OAM and security. Based on these
requirements the WG will select, extend, and/or develop one or more data plane
encapsulation format(s).

Additionally, the WG may document common use-cases for NVO3 solutions.

The working group may choose to adopt a protocol or data encapsulation that was
previously worked on outside the IETF as the basis for the WG's work.  If the
NVO3 WG anticipates the adoption of the technologies of another SDO as part of
the selected protocols or data encapsulation, the NVO3 WG will first liaise
with that SDO.

BGP-based solutions to network virtualization within a data center environment
will be developed in the BGP-Enabled Services (BESS) WG.
