The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Use Cases for Data Center Network Virtualization Overlay Networks' (draft-ietf-nvo3-use-case-17.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Network Virtualization Overlays Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nvo3-use-case/ Technical Summary This document describes data center network virtualization overly (NVO3) network use cases that can be deployed in various data centers and serve different data center applications. Working Group Summary The document is one of the base documents chartered for the NVO3 working group. The document was originally created following interest in the WG to define the specific NVO3 use cases to help scope the NVO3 architecture and requirements, and any required protocols. There are no IPR declarations on the draft. The WG was explicitly recently asked if the use-cases should be dropped or continued to publication. There was strong support for publication and the document was improved as a result of the discussion. Document Quality I have no concerns about the quality of the document. I believe it represents WG consensus, and it has been widely reviewed and discussed on the list over a number of years. The document does not specify any MIB changes or additions which would need review. Personnel The document shepherd is Matthew Bocci. The responsible Area Director is Alia Atlas.
