The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Network Virtualization Overlay Solution using EVPN' (draft-ietf-bess-evpn-overlay-11.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the BGP Enabled ServiceS 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-bess-evpn-overlay/ Technical Summary This document specifies how Ethernet VPN (EVPN) can be used as a Network Virtualization Overlay (NVO) solution and explores the various tunnel encapsulation options over IP and their impact on the EVPN control-plane and procedures. In particular, the following encapsulation options are analyzed: VXLAN, NVGRE, and MPLS over GRE. GENEVE is considered in a separate document (draft-boutros-bess-evpn-geneve).
