The IESG has received a request from the Network Virtualization Overlays WG (nvo3) to consider the following document: - 'A Framework for Multicast in Network Virtualization Overlays' <draft-ietf-nvo3-mcast-framework-09.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-10-02. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead.

Abstract This document discusses a framework of supporting multicast traffic in a network that uses Network Virtualization Overlays (NVO3). Both infrastructure multicast and application-specific multicast are discussed. It describes the various mechanisms that can be used for delivering such traffic as well as the data plane and control plane considerations for each of the mechanisms.
