I think that the Charter should have some text to identify the key differences between DCVPN and L2VPN/L3VPN. If the key differences aren't properly described, all the protocols developed for L2VPN and L3VPN will pop up as potential solutions.
I do not think that the charter is the place to provide a technical
definition of the difference between DCVPN and L2VPN/L3VPN. The charter
sets the scope of the work.
Here are some key differences I see:
- Majority of VMs (or End-Systems) do communicate with external peers, even though their volume may not be large. Most external peers access their VMs (or End-Systems) in Data Centers via internet or IP network until packets reach the Data Center gateway.
- Majority of VMs are end systems, vs. nodes in L2VPN/L3VPN are not.
That really would be a better fit in the requirements and framework
documents.
