The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Applicability of EVPN to NVO3 Networks' (draft-ietf-nvo3-evpn-applicability-06.txt) as Informational RFC
This document is the product of the Network Virtualization Overlays Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jim Guichard, Andrew Alston and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nvo3-evpn-applicability/ Technical Summary In Network Virtualization Over Layer-3 (NVO3) networks, Network Virtualization Edge devices (NVEs) sit at the edge of the underlay network and provide Layer-2 and Layer-3 connectivity among Tenant Systems (TSes) of the same tenant. The NVEs need to build and maintain mapping tables so that they can deliver encapsulated packets to their intended destination NVE(s). While there are different options to create and disseminate the mapping table entries, NVEs may exchange that information directly among themselves via a control- plane protocol, such as Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN). EVPN provides an efficient, flexible and unified control-plane option that can be used for Layer-2 and Layer-3 Virtual Network (VN) service connectivity. This document describes the applicability of EVPN to NVO3 networks and how EVPN solves the challenges in those networks. This document does not introduce any new procedures in EVPN. Working Group Summary The consensus for this document within the working group seemed strong. No controversy was observed. Document Quality Document quality is good. The number of acronyms in this document was substantial, but with the updated -05 document and the clean up of the glossary etc, I found this relatively easy to work through. My thanks for all the detailed reviews. The authors showed a willingness to deal with issues raised in the directorate reviews and did a solid job addressing the issues that came up during last call.
