Abstract:
   As communicated by the WG Chairs, the IETF NVO3 chairs and Routing
   Area director have chartered a design team to take forward the
   encapsulation discussion and see if there is potential to design a
   common encapsulation that addresses the various technical concerns.

   There are implications of different encapsulations in real
   environments consisting of both software and hardware implementations
   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 recommends Geneve with a few modifications as the
   common encapsulation. This document provides more details,
   particularly in Section 7.
