Re: [nvo3] Applicability of RFC 5512 to NVO3?

Hi Shane,

5512 would require each host to support BGP.

That for amount of information scaling would automatically mean that 
each host in the data center would need to also support RTC (rfc4684).

Session scaling is another challenge if we follow Igor's numbers.

And I am not sure that the p2mp information distribution nature of BGP 
fits well to the set of requirements here. It seems that host to VM 
controller/orchestration/ect is much more p2p in it's nature. From 
looking at our data centers I see the common user's VMs residing on very 
little number of hosts.

Even if one would go that path (and maybe we would restart talks about 
bgp-lite .. what may be regardless useful for PE-CE bgp scaling in other 
areas) which BGP implementation you would recommend to use on the hosts ?

Cheers,
R.
