Abstract:
In a Split-NVE architecture, the functions of the NVE (Network
Virtualization Edge) are split across a server and an external
network equipment which is called an external NVE. The server-
resident control plane functionality resides in control software,
which may be part of a hypervisor or container management software;
for simplicity, this draft refers to the hypervisor as the location
of this software.
Control plane protocol(s) between a hypervisor and its associated
external NVE(s) are used by the hypervisor to distribute its virtual
machine networking state to the external NVE(s) for further handling.
This document illustrates the functionality required by this type of
control plane signaling protocol and outlines the high level
requirements. Virtual machine states as well as state transitioning
are summarized to help clarify the needed protocol requirements.
