But the L3 device in the core of a data center is a router not an open flow switch that can arbitrarily match on any field. And this draft is in IETF and not ONF.

A OpenFlow switch can easily be used to support this function. But of course it is an example, we do not try to argue that we should use Openflow. 发件人: nvo3 <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Shahram Davari <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> 日期: 2015年11月4日 星期三 上午9:58 至: dacheng de <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> 主题: Re: [nvo3] draft--pang--nvo3--vxlan--path--detection--01 The only text I can see is the following: “Each network device receives the Path Tracking packet from its upstream device, makes a copy of it and passes the copy to its CPU. “ I don’t see any mechanism being proposed in the draft.

If this assumption is broken, the solutions proposed in this draft may not be effective.

The only option I can think of is TTL expiry, otherwise it won’t work, the way it is defined now, Thx Shahram _______________________________________________ nvo3 mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nvo3 _______________________________________________ nvo3 mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nvo3
