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.

[Linda]  Multicast in Multi-homing environment will be processed exactly the 
same way as the uni-cast in multi-homing environment because the target (egress 
NVA) is provided by the NVA. If one TS is attached to multiple NVEs, the NVA 
can provide all the NVEs that can reach the TS, the ingress NVE can use ECMP to 
choose the egress NVE for data frames destined towards the TS.
I can add a sentence to the draft to state this fact:
      "In Multi-homing environment, i.e. multiple NVEs can reach a specific TS, 
the NVA will provide all the NVEs that can reach the TS.  The ingress NVE can 
choose one of the egress NVEs for the data frames destined towards the TS."

-          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.
[Linda] Thanks, Add the sentence in Section 2:
      "In this draft, TS, host, and VM are used interchangeably to represent an 
end system that originate or terminate data packets. "

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.


[Linda] Thanks. I will change it in the next version.


In section 3.4, need a reference to BIER solution.

[Linda] yes.

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.


[Linda] You are correct.


Thank you very much.

Linda


Cheers,
Lucy
