Heh. At first reading, this comment didn't make sense to me.
The WG has consistently used the terms overlay and underlay to mean
different things. NVO3 is about building an *overlay* network over an
existing *underlay* network. Overlay/underlay are two different terms.
But looking at the charter, it seems we didn't even use "overlay" in
the charter text itself!
Suggestion:
Old:
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 that assumes an IP-based underlay.
New:
The purpose of the NVO3 WG is to develop a set of protocols and/or
protocol extensions that enable network virtualization USING
OVERLAYS within a data center (DC) environment that assumes an
IP-based underlay NETWORK.
(Added words captilized to highlight).
