I have no opinion on that, but suggest that any OAM work on GRE should be done 
with GRE/UDP in mind.

Moreover, the GRE/UDP draft is likely to go to WG Last Call in TSVWG in the 
next month or so.  GRE/UDP is a simple encapsulation, as there is no (shim) 
header between the UDP and GRE headers, and none will be added (in contrast to 
the new encapsulations which have such headers):

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-gre-in-udp-encap/

If there are any OAM concerns or recommendations that ought to be covered in 
the GRE/UDP draft, now would be a good time to bring them up - please sending 
comments to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> .

The current -08 version of the GRE/UDP draft is not really ready for 
comprehensive review - the text on separating operator network usage from 
general Internet usage is "digging in the right place," but I expect that 
another revision is needed to get it into good shape (to their credit, the 
authors have the new text in my [WG chair] Inbox for review prior to posting).  
Hence I'd suggest focusing on OAM topics until the next version (-09) of the 
GRE/UDP draft is posted.

Thanks,
--David

Hi Alia,

Good to see  this integrated (rather than fragmented!); there would be  more 
commonalities than difference of requirements. I believe that GRE should be 
mandatory rather than best effort as well given its wide deployment for 
overlays (perhaps the most widely deployed general purpose encap, keeping MPLS 
in a different league!).

Thanks,
Manish

Subject: Design Team on Overlay OAM in Routing is Chartered

Based on the presentation by Greg Mirsky and discussion in rtgwg and elsewhere, 
I have decided to charter a fast-moving Routing Area design team to work on 
Overlay OAM.

The charter is below:

In the Routing Area, several WGs (e.g. NVO3, BIER, and SFC) are working on 
relatively new encapsulations to create overlays. These overlay or service 
encapsulations are transport-independent since they may be over different 
transports or at different layers in the networking stack. Each WG is starting 
to discuss what OAM and tools need to be developed (see 
draft-ietf-sfc-oam-framework-00, draft-ietf-bier-oam-requirements-00, and 
individual drafts in NVO3). With increasing use of overlay and service layer 
tunnels, extensions to traceroute to allow visibility into multiple layers are 
being discussed (e.g. draft-nordmark-nvo3-transcending-traceroute-01).

There is an opportunity to propose protocols and methods to provide Overlay OAM 
in a sufficiently generic fashion that they can meet the requirements and be 
applied to at least BIER, NSH, VXLAN-GPE, GENEVE, and GUE. A truly successful 
result would also be applicable to other technologies.

This Design Team is chartered to first produce a brief gap analysis and 
requirements document to focus its work on protocol extensions. This should be 
published by March 2016. With that basis, this Design Team is chartered to 
rapidly propose extensions to existing IETF OAM protocols such as those 
discussed in [RFC 7276] and new ones to support the requirements for OAM from 
NVO3, BIER, and SFC. The Design Team will produce an initial proposal by IETF 
95. It is expected that the initial proposal will provide guidance to 
additional people who will be interested in working on the details and gaps.

The Design Team will consider the preliminary OAM requirements from NVO3, BIER, 
and SFC. The Design Team should align with the LIME WG's work on common YANG 
models of OAM.
The members of the design team are:
   Greg Mirsky (DT lead)
   Ignas Bagdonas
   Erik Nordmark
   Carlos Pignataro
   Mach Chen
   Santosh Pallagatti
   Deepak Kumarde
   David Mozes
   Nagendra Kumar Nainar

The design team has a private mailing list that will be publicly archived.
The mailing list is [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.

The design team will also use a wiki to track some information.  Others are 
also welcome to comment and interact there.
The wiki is at:  http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgOoamDT

Regards,
Alia
