The IESG has received a request from the Network Virtualization Overlays WG (nvo3) to consider the following document: - 'Geneve: Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation' <draft-ietf-nvo3-geneve-14.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2019-11-07. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Network virtualization involves the cooperation of devices with a wide variety of capabilities such as software and hardware tunnel endpoints, transit fabrics, and centralized control clusters. As a result of their role in tying together different elements in the system, the requirements on tunnels are influenced by all of these components. Flexibility is therefore the most important aspect of a tunnel protocol if it is to keep pace with the evolution of the system. This document describes Geneve, an encapsulation protocol designed to recognize and accommodate these changing capabilities and needs.
