We have updated the document as per the offline discussions and mailing list feedback.
Basically it 1. Improved the terminologies. Make the definition of Split-NVE consistent with other docs. 2. Refined the bulleted requirements. Comments are welcome.

Name: draft-ietf-nvo3-hpvr2nve-cp-req Revision: 01 Title: Hypervisor to NVE Control Plane Requirements Document date: 2014-11-18 Group: nvo3 Pages: 21 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nvo3-hpvr2nve-cp-req-01.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nvo3-hpvr2nve-cp-req/ Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nvo3-hpvr2nve-cp-req-01 Diff: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-nvo3-hpvr2nve-cp-req-01 Abstract: In a Split-NVE architructure, the functions of the NVE are split across the hypervisor/container on a server and an external network equipment which is called an external NVE. A control plane protocol(s) between a hypervisor and its associated external NVE(s) is used for the hypervisor to distribute its virtual machine networking state to the external NVE(s) for further handling. This document illustrates the functionality required by this type of control plane signaling protocol and outlines the high level requirements. Virtual machine states as well as state transitioning are summarized to help clarifying the needed protocol requirements. Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
