Abstract:
In a Split-NVE architecture, the functions of the NVE are split
across a server and an external network equipment which is called an
external NVE. The server-resident control plane functionality
resides in control software, which may be part of a hypervisor or
container management software; for simplicity, this draft refers to
the hypervisor as the location of this software.
A control plane protocol(s) between a hypervisor and its associated
external NVE(s) is used for the hypervisor to distribute its virtual
machine networking state to the external NVE(s) for further handling.
This document illustrates the functionality required by this type of
control plane signaling protocol and outlines the high level
requirements. Virtual machine states as well as state transitioning
are summarized to help clarifying the needed protocol requirements.
