Re: [dc] Requirement for a method to manage mac address in DC

[Alexander Vainshtein <[e-mail]>]

Dear Mr. Yu (apologies if this is not the proper form of addressing),

Managing MAC addresses allocated to VMs in a DC may be a worthy objective.
But I wonder if it comes under the purview of the IETF.

Could you please elaborate?

Regards,
    Sasha

Hi All:
   I wonder whether it is necessary to manage mac address in DC.
As you know,VM's mac is randomly generated.
The risk of mac conflict is increasing with  the amount of VMs in DC.
If there is a method to auto manage and allocate mac address,the risk maybe avoid.
That method may facilitate the operator to control network easily and other available benefits.
