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.
