A new mailing list has been set up to explore possible IETF work in the area of providing L2 network virtualization service over an L3 (IP) overlay network. As background, there are a number of drafts that relate to this area, including: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-00 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sridharan-virtualization-nvgre-00 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wkumari-dcops-l3-vmmobility-00 I've put together a first-cut at a problem statement that focuses on the issues and potential work areas, without getting into solution specifics. See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-narten-nvo3-overlay-problem-statement-00.txt There have also been some related vendor announcements and presentations as well (these are ones I happen to know of, there are surely others). For example: http://blogs.cisco.com/datacenter/introducing-vxlan/ http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9902/white_paper_c11-685115.html http://blogs.vmware.com/console/2011/08/towards-virtualized-networking-for-the-cloud.html http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/SAC-442T The list is called nvo3, for "Network Virtualization Over L3", aka N-Vee-Oh-3 (we'll see how well that acronym sticks...). I've put in a formal request to hold a BOF in Taipai, so we can explore whether it makes sense to form a WG in this area. Subscription information for the mailing list can be found at List address: nvo3@ietf.org Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/nvo3/current/maillist.html To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nvo3 I look forward to your participation!
