Virtual Transport Network (VTN) Scalability Considerations for
Enhanced VPN
draft-dong-teas-enhanced-vpn-vtn-scalability-00
Abstract
Enhanced VPN (VPN+) is an enhancement to VPN services to support the
needs of new applications, particularly including the applications
that are associated with 5G services. An enhanced VPN could be used
for transport network slicing in 5G, and will also be of use in more
generic scenarios. I-D.ietf-teas-enhanced-vpn describes the
framework and candidate component technologies for providing
enhanced VPN services. This document describes the scalability
considerations in the control plane and data plane to enable VPN+
services, some optimization mechanisms are also described.

1. Introduction
Virtual private networks (VPNs) have served the industry well as a
means of providing different groups of users with logically isolated
connectivity over a common network. The VPN service is provided with
two network layers: the overlay and the underlay. The underlay is
responsible for establishing the network connectivity and managing
network resources to meet the service requirement. The overlay is
used to distribute the membership and reachability information of
