i don't know...

Consider in Iast week's Interim meeting I described the "virtualizing
existing jobs" use case of networking virtualization. In this model,
we would like to be able to migrate existing jobs between servers. For
the networking part of this, we need to migrate addresses and and
connection state. These jobs don't run in VMs, they run in the host's
stack with some sort of containerization. While job is not migrating
there is no impact, performance and behavior are unchanged. At most we
need to perform encapsulation, but we may even be able to obviate that
with some create use of IPv6 addressing (Identifier/Locator).

Is this use case considered in your draft?

Side note on your draft: From the introduction "Currently these
networks are organized as one large Layer 2 network in a single
building". I don't believe this is universally true and I hope it's
not a fundamental design point, there are Layer 3 switched data center
networks.

Thanks,
Tom
