EVPN control plane for Geneve
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-geneve-00.txt
Abstract
This document describes how Ethernet VPN (EVPN) control plane can be
used with Network Virtualization Overlay over Layer 3 (NVO3) Generic
Network Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve) encapsulation for NVO3
solutions. EVPN control plane can also be used by a Network
Virtualization Endpoints (NVEs) to express Geneve tunnel option
TLV(s)supported in transmission and/or reception of Geneve
encapsulated data packets.

1 Introduction
The Network Virtualization over Layer 3 (NVO3) solutions for network
virtualization in data center (DC) environment are based on an IP-
based underlay. An NVO3 solution provides layer 2 and/or layer 3
overlay services for virtual networks enabling multi-tenancy and
workload mobility. The NVO3 working group have been working on
different dataplane encapsulations. The Generic Network
Virtualization Encapsulation [GENEVE] have been recently recommended
to be the proposed standard for network virtualization overlay
encapsulation.
