There is already another working group draft on NVO3 security 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nvo3-security-requirements-07) which 
would be a good place to include information about Geneve specific security 
requirements. This draft has not been updated in a while but includes content 
which is broadly applicable to NVO3 including NVE-NVE data plane (i.e. Geneve)  
communication.

My vote is for the draft-mglt-nvo3-geneve-security-requirements authors to 
include relevant sections of their draft in the existing 
nv03-security-requirements draft instead of the WG adopting another draft 
related to security.

Section 6.2 of draft-ietf-nvo3-security-requirements  is the section which can 
be enhanced to include information about Geneve security since it already 
details several areas common to both the drafts.  I would also suggest not 
using the current categorization of 
draft-mglt-nvo3-geneve-security-requirements (SEC-OP and SEC-GEN – see below) 
when including text from draft-mglt-nvo3-geneve-security-requirements  into 
draft-nvo3-security-requirements


SEC-OP: requirements to evaluate a given deployment of Geneve overlay. Such 
requirements are intended to Geneve overlay provider to evaluate a given 
deployment.


SEC-GEN: requirements a security mechanism need to fulfill to secure any 
deployment of Geneve overlay deployment



In summary, I don’t support the adoption of this draft as a new WG document – 
we should add relevant content from here into the existing security 
requirements draft and continue to progress that.



Thanks,

Sridhar
