First of all, I support the draft to be published as RFC. It addresses a useful application.
Here are some comments for the improvement. General: - NVO3 may have multi-homing NVE configuration, please address that each mcast method is able to support multi-homing NVEs. - It is necessary to elaborate security concerns in section 7 when using mcast methods in nvo3 environment - Several citations refer to old drafts, should point to the corresponding RFCs. - Terms: Tenant system, TSS, hosts, VM, are used in the draft here and there, suggest making consistent or state out at beginning that they mean the same entity. In Section 3.2, the following text is unclear: ….When the members of a multicast group are outside the NVO3 domain, it is necessary for NVO3 gateways to keep track of the remote members of each multicast group. The NVEs then communicate these mappings to the NVA. Even if the membership is not communicated to the NVA, if it is necessary to prevent hosts attached to an NVE that have not subscribed to a multicast group from receiving the multicast traffic, the NVE needs to maintain the multicast group membership. Suggested text as follow: …When the members of a multicast group are outside the NVO3 domain, it is necessary for NVO3 gateways to keep track of the remote members of each multicast group. The NVEs and gateways communicate the interested multicast groups to the NVA. To prevent hosts attached to an NVE that have not subscribed to a multicast group from receiving the multicast traffic, the NVE needs to maintain the multicast group membership. In section 3.4, need a reference to BIER solution. Section 5.1 case may happen to all mcast methods, not only to the method in 3.3, clarify which mcast solution still can work and which will not. In addition, clarify what are TSS router and TS’s router.
