I’m scratching my head as well. Lingli is a co-author, so maybe she can comment here.

The draft does mention NFV, which can be implemented across multiple data centers connected by a WAN, but if primarily implemented within a data center, and specifically mentions data centers. It also mentioned latency in passing, in the third paragraph of the section on 3GPP.

Where I’m scratching my head is figuring out what it’s actually trying to say. It explains NFV and that tunnels might be implemented in a vSwitch, which is true, and often the case in architectures such as OpenStack. It doesn’t seem to make obvious points about that such as are made in RFC 2983: when the tunnel is marked as having experienced congestion, that information needs to be reflected in the interior header at the tunnel endpoint. It talks quite a bit about IPFIX. I’m not sure I walked away with “so do this”.
