Network virtualization involves the cooperation of devices with a
wide variety of capabilities such as software and hardware tunnel
endpoints, transit fabrics, and centralized control clusters. As a
result of their role in tying together different elements of the
system, the requirements on tunnels are influenced by all of these
components. Therefore, flexibility is the most important aspect of a
tunneling protocol if it is to keep pace with the evolution of
technology. This document describes Geneve, an encapsulation protocol
designed to recognize and accommodate these changing capabilities and
needs.
This document is a product of the Network Virtualization Overlays Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
This announcement is sent to the IETF-Announce and rfc-dist lists.
