Hi Anoop I have few queries regarding the following texts from the (kindly bear with if these were taken up earlier or should be posted against different literature):
>>>>In the case of ARP/ND, an NVA can be used for distributing the mappings of IP address to MAC address to all NVEs, and the NVEs can respond to ARP messages from the TSs that are attached to it in a way that is similar to proxy-ARP. * NVA here can distribute and ALSO withdraw the IP/MAC mappings, OR the deletion of entries can be delegated to NVE implementation OR based on native ARP/ND functionality (of refreshes and timeouts). * Does the "mapping distribution" generalizes "both local and remote TS credentials" and "remote NVE's" as well or connected TS credentials are expected to be learnt the native ARP/ND way * Proxy-ARP is different in a way wherein the Proxying-router can proxy for destination-hosts which are in different subnets as there may be no default gateway connected to sending-host. In this case local and remote Vteps will map same vni to same-subnet routes, to put them under the same bridging-domain. >>>> In sectin >>>> "3.1<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nvo3-mcast-framework-02#section-3.1>. >>>> No multicast support" " All of the application traffic in the network is >>>> unicast traffic and the only multicast/broadcast traffic is from ARP/ND protocols." Does this section implies that bridging/switching is not supported on the NVE devices, which will perform broadcast for all L2 packets (either multicast or broadcast) received from connected TS. If not, then case all link-local multicast packets at least can be bridged/switched by the devices in this case. >>>>In section >>>>"3.2<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nvo3-mcast-framework-02#section-3.2>. >>>> Replication at the source NVE" In multi-homing environments, i.e. more than one NVE can reach a specific TS, the NVA would be expected to provide all the NVEs that can reach the given TS. I think the above sentence is incomplete and needs to be rephrased, wherein "the credentials of ALL NVEs which are directly connected to TSs should be provided by NVA to other NVEs in it's authoritative domain" From: Anoop Ghanwani <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thursday, February 11, 2016 at 1:02 PM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [nvo3] I-D Action: draft-ietf-nvo3-mcast-framework-02.txt This version addresses the comments received during WGLC.

This draft is a work item of the Network Virtualization Overlays of the IETF. Title : A Framework for Multicast in NVO3 Authors : Anoop Ghanwani Linda Dunbar Mike McBride Vinay Bannai Ram Krishnan Filename : draft-ietf-nvo3-mcast-framework-02.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2016-02-10 Abstract: This document discusses a framework of supporting multicast traffic in a network that uses Network Virtualization Overlays over Layer 3 (NVO3). Both infrastructure multicast and application-specific multicast are discussed. It describes the various mechanisms that can be used for delivering such traffic as well as the data plane and control plane considerations for each of the mechanisms.
