Hello Tom, Paul et al., Abstract: technically this is not extending a VXLAN but defines a new protocol that looks similar to VXLAN (demonstrated by need for new UDP port assignment). (?) ... (!) interesting, the abstract was not mentioning it although it's a relevant change IMHO when you

Hi VXLAN-gpe authors, Abstract: technically this is not extending a VXLAN but defines a new protocol that looks similar to VXLAN (demonstrated by need for new UDP port assignment). We are trying to balance re-use of the VXLAN format and the need to support existing non-GPE hardware

Tom, one of the design goals of GPE is to be cost effective when implemented together with VXLAN and LISP. We do know that those are the two most deployed protocols out there, and will be out there for quite some time while any other network virtualization protocol gets deployed. I believe

Dino, I believe that using a format that can share as much as possible with the two protocols deployed today will give a better chance to GPE to be implemented, as vendors may want a cost effective way to migrate to the new protocol while preserving compatibility with legacy implementations.
