Seamless Interconnect Underlay to Cloud Overlay Problem Statement
draft-dm-net2cloud-problem-statement-04
Abstract
This document describes the problems of enterprises face today in
connecting their branch offices to dynamic workloads in third party
data centers (a.k.a. Cloud DCs).
It examines some of the approaches for interconnecting workloads &
applications hosted in cloud DCs with enterprises' on-premises DCs &
branch offices. This document also describes some of the (network)
problems that many enterprises face when they have workloads &
applications & data split among hybrid data centers, especially for
those enterprises with multiple sites that are already
interconnected by VPNs (e.g. MPLS L2VPN/L3VPN) and leased lines.
Current operational problems in the field are examined to determine
whether there is a need for enhancements to existing protocols or
whether a new protocol is necessary to solve them.
