Hi folks, We are going to send a liaison to IEEE 802.1 to bring their attention to ietf-nvo3-hpvr2nve-cp-req draft and to suggest the work to extend VDP protocol based on the consensus reached during Dallas meeting.
Chairs asked me to post the proposed text here for your review. Thanks a lot, Yizhou ----------- Liaison Statement： NVO3 Liaison to IEEE 802.1 From: Matthew Bocci and Benson Schliesser (Co-Chairs, IETF NVO3 Working Group) To: Glenn Parsons (Chair, IEEE 802.1 Working Group)<mailto:[email protected]> Cc: Ron Bonica<mailto:[email protected]> (IETF NVO3 Technical Advisor) Eric Gray<mailto:[email protected]> (IETF Liaison to IEEE 802.1) Alia Atlas<mailto:[email protected]> (IETF Area Director for NVO3) Dan Romascanu (IETF Liaison to the IEEE SA)<mailto:[email protected]> Jari Arkko<mailto:[email protected]> (Chair, IETF) Pat Thaler<mailto:[email protected]> (Chair, IEEE 802.1 DCB Task Group) Paul Nickolich (Chair, IEEE 802)<mailto:[email protected]> Purpose: For action Attachments: (none) Body: Dear Glenn, The IETF NVO3 Working Group has been developing the requirements for a Control Plane Protocol between server Hypervisors and Network Virtual Edge (NVE) devices in virtualized overlay networks. The current draft can be found at http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nvo3-hpvr2nve-cp-req/. This requirements document suggests extending the VDP (VSI Discovery and Configuration Protocol) protocol specified by IEEE Std 802.1Qbg as a solution. We would particularly welcome IEEE 802.1 Working Group’s review of Section 5 of the draft. That section compares the conceptually similar terms in NVO3 and the VDP context. It also summarizes the potential technical extension work required for VDP to be used as the control plane protocol between the hypervisor and NVE. In view of the progress of this work, we would like to suggest IEEE 802.1 Working Group to use that draft as a base requirement reference for VDP extensions in the aforementioned context. Please note that the status of this draft in the IETF, that it is a “Working Group draft”, indicates that the Working Group considers it an appropriate starting point but it is still subject to change. While a determination has not yet been made that there is technical consensus on all the details of the draft, there is consensus on basing the Hypervisor to NVE protocol on VDP with appropriate extensions. Sincerely Yours, Matthew Bocci & Benson Schliesser IETF NVO3 Working Group Co-Chairs
