Hi Authors of "draft-sarikaya-nvo3-vmm-dmm-pmip”,

Please find following comments (apology for pitching in late):

MSDC’s deployment can span across L2-boundries; a typical NVE can function
as L3-gateway for inter-L2-domain connectivity (routing across bridging
domains).
This may be a typical deployment for a web-OTT (east-west traffic);
transaction handling across front-end server, storage and compute elements.

Does this literature also handles cases for VM movement across
L3-boundries, though not typical ?

There are potential cases where IP addresses is re-allocated (in same
subnet), 
via a DHCP server serving the new POD (may be across geographical
boundaries). 
Needs to be categorically captured that these cases should be handled
with/without assumptions.

There are vendor deployments (diskless systems or without configuration
files) where in VM-users (end-user clients) ask for the same MAC upon
migration, 
and it speak up with RARP sending out the old MAC address and looking for
an IPv4/IPv6 address allocation.
Though procedure should be identical with respect to triggering NVE-NVA
communication for GARP case; but in this case only MAC learning
is performed by new NVE and informed to NVA on a identifying the connected
host with RARP packet (to ensure backward compatibility to
legacy/brownfield deployments).
NVA can negotiate/update Old NVE mappings (with MAC address as the key)
and re-assign the same IPv4-address to moved VM by asking, new NVE behind
which VM has migrated
to send a RARP response. This can be paraphrased if its not okay with the
authors. 


Thanks
Saumya.
