The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Framework for Multicast in Network Virtualization Overlays' (draft-ietf-nvo3-mcast-framework-11.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-mcast-framework/ Technical Summary 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. Working Group Summary This document was extensively discussed within NVo3 and MBONED WG. Many comments were provided by various members as part of WG adoption and WG LC.
