Abstract:

   The IETF Network Virtualization Overlays (NVO3) Working Group Chairs
   and Routing Area Director chartered a design team to take forward the
   encapsulation discussion and see if there was potential to design a
   common encapsulation that addresses the various technical concerns.
   This document provides a record, for the benefit of the IETF
   community, of the considerations arrived at by the NVO3 encapsulation
   design team, which may be helpful with future deliberations by
   working groups over the choice of encapsulation formats.

   There are implications of having different encapsulations in real
   environments consisting of both software and hardware implementations
   and within and spanning multiple data centers.  For example, OAM
   functions such as path MTU discovery become challenging with multiple
   encapsulations along the data path.

   The design team recommended Geneve with a few modifications as the
   common encapsulation.  This document provides more details,
   particularly in Section 7.
