This document describes issues associated with providing multi-
tenancy in large data center networks and an overlay-based network
virtualization approach to addressing them. A key multi-tenancy
requirement is traffic isolation, so that a tenant's traffic is not
visible to any other tenant. This isolation can be achieved by
assigning one or more virtual networks to each tenant such that
traffic within a virtual network is isolated from traffic in other
virtual networks. The primary functionality required is provisioning
virtual networks, associating a virtual machine's NIC with the
appropriate virtual network, and maintaining that association as the
virtual machine is activated, migrated and/or deactivated. Use of an
overlay-based approach enables scalable deployment on large network
infrastructures.
