Re: [nvo3] Question on the mapping between VAP and VNI

[<[e-mail]>]

NVO3 WG,







Through offline discussion with David Black, the primary author of RFC 8014, we concluded that "RFC 8014 was written based on 1-to-1 mapping model, at the same time, RFC 8014 allows N-to-1 mapping."



Any other thoughts?






Best Regards,

主 题 ：Question on the mapping between VAP and VNI




Dear NVO3 Architecture Authors,






Many thanks to the well defined NVO3 architecture.



I have a question on the mapping between VAP and VNI at one NVE, is it a 1-to-1 mapping or N-to-1 mapping?






In other words, is the following figure which is derived from Figure 2 of RFC8014 reasonable?
