Hi Anoop,
Thanks for your reply to my question. It's clear that we have different views on this case, could you please direct me to the text(if any) of RFC/draft that supports your statement? Any thoughts from others?

The different interfaces would have to be different VNIs. [XM] To be clear, I interpret VNI as Virtual Network Identifier that should be present within VxLAN/Geneve header. Do you mean in the case multiple Tenant Systems connect to multiple NVEs through IP routing network, different NVEs must encapsulate different Virtual Network Identifiers? In the mixed case (with MPLS and L2 hitting the NVE at different VAPs), I'm not sure how it would work in the same VNI. If you think it's important, I think it may be worth writing it up. If there's enough merit in the use case, we can figure out how to run multiple BFD sessions on the same VNI. [XM] As to the mixed case, I don't know whether there's enough merit, I just raise it for discussion because it seems not being prohibited from the NVO3 architecture point of view.

The only way I can make sense of the picture below is to have a separate VNI for each MPLS interface on the NVE.

If the answer is yes, then I agree that all Tenant Systems attached to a common NVE MUST share a VAP so long as they connect to the same VN, although in RFC8014 it uses "can" but not "MUST". As a result, we should not allow multiple BFD sessions for the same VNI between two NVEs. If the answer is no, then we should allow multiple BFD sessions for the same VNI between two NVEs. I personally lean to this answer.

It sounds like the NVE is an MPLS router in this case and if you're using the same VNI as you switch MPLS, then it's a one-armed router. That doesn't change how BFD needs to be run between NVEs.

The use case is that the network between the VM and the NVE is an MPLS network, within which the packet is forwarded basing on MPLS label, but not Ethernet MAC address and/or 802.1Q VLAN. When two such kind of MPLS networks need to communicate with each other, through a Geneve tunnel, the encap I illustrated would be used.

If the network operator want to set up one BFD session between VAP1 of NVE1 and VAP1of NVE2, at the same time another BFD session between VAP3 of NVE1 and VAP3 of NVE2, although the two BFD sessions are for the same VNI1, I believe it's reasonable, so that's why I think we should allow it. Of course, in RFC8014 it also says: "Note that two different Tenant Systems (and TSIs) attached to a common NVE can share a VAP (e.g., TS1 and TS2 in Figure 2) so long as they connect to the same Virtual Network." Some people may argue that all Tenant Systems connecting to the same Virtual Network MUST share one VAP, if that's true, then VAP1 and VAP3 should merge into one VAP and my explanation doesn't work.
