Title : NVO3 Encapsulation Considerations
Authors : Sami Boutros

Filename : draft-ietf-nvo3-encap-07.txt
Pages : 26

Abstract:
As communicated by the WG Chairs, the IETF NVO3 chairs and Routing
Area director have chartered a design team to take forward the
encapsulation discussion and see if there is potential to design a
common encapsulation that addresses the various technical concerns.
There are implications of different encapsulations in real
environments consisting of both software and hardware implementations
and spanning multiple data centers. For example, OAM functions such
as path MTU discovery become challenging with multiple encapsulations
along the data path.
The design team recommends Geneve with a few modifications as the
common encapsulation. This document provides more details,
particularly in Section 7.
