I agree that we should focus on the tunnel side. While there are several 
ways to establish the tunnel. EVPN, PIM-SM+ data plane learning, and 
static tunnel. EVPN is one of the choice.
If we difine it in the L2VPN YANG model, so how do we deal with the PIM-SM 
solution?

I know that some vendors only support PIM-SM ,or Openflow etc. EVPN is not 
support, so I think we still need have a VxLAN YANG data model, and we can 
focus more on the tunnel side.

Fully agree with Diego.

One more thing I wanted to add:
To me VXLAN is one more tunnel type for a layer-2 service. There is an 
L2VPN YANG model and an EVPN YANG model, both are pretty mature at this 
moment and if we are missing any constructs for vxlan we should add them 
there. I don’t see the need for a separate YANG model just for VXLAN.

An update of both drafts will be presented on Thursday during the BESS 
session.

Thanks.
Jorge

I agree the mapping should be VFI (that is what I called service) to 
VXLAN/VNID with whatever control/data-plane there might be in use 
(Openflow / flood-and-learn / evpn / etc) 

whether the VFI is vlan-backed or something else, it should be irrelevant 
to this part of the draft IMHO, as well as how packets get tagged into the 
particular VFI (again, port+local-vlan-id, box-wide vlan, qinq, 
mac-filter, or whatever other mechanism) - but I see this as a second 
problem that probalby belongs on a separate draft or even seprate groups.

Hi Diego,

PORT+VLAN is fine as long as it is not required for to have different VNID 
for the same VPN. in other words as long as it is N:1 mapping for same 
VPN. This means we should not be required to do switching packet from one 
VNID to another VNID.

May be a better way to represent this is Yang is to always map VFI to 
VNID. Then VFI can be derived in many ways including VLAN, (Port, VLAN), 
etc,

Thx

Port+vlan to vnid is actually supported by a few vendors (as well as OVS 
itself) - with basically port-significant vlan. But I agree that we should 
basically separate the access side from the tunnel side. I'm sure the 
access side has probably been defined in other WGs as well (such as L2 
VPNs, etc). 

The need for tunnel-side yang model to attach to a "service" would 
probably cover most of the needed models (and given, at the moment, the 
limited options in the vxlan header itself), we probably would be limited 
at whether you transport the vlan over vxlan or not and then whether the 
tunnels are source-based replicated or not (PIM-SM based) and if you do 
learning over the tunnel or not (for an EVPN-control-plane signalled 
tunnel)

+1.

Also, it might be better to have a base overlay module and protocol 
specific modules to avoid duplication & force consistency. For ex, 
inner-tag-removal may well be common to more than one overlay protocol.
