Abstract

Group Based Policy can be used to achieve micro or macro segmentation of user traffic. For Group Based Policy, a Group Policy ID, also known as Group Policy Tag, is used to represent a logical group that shares the same policy and access privilege. This document defines a backward compatible extension to Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) that allows a Group Policy ID to be carried for the purposes of policy enforcement at the egress Network Virtualization Edge (NVE). It also defines a new BGP Extended Community that can be used to propagate Group Policy ID through a BGP route advertisement in the control plane. This is to facilitate policy enforcement at the ingress NVE when feasible.
