RFC 8151 NVO3 Use Case May 2017 1. Introduction Server virtualization has changed the Information Technology (IT) industry in terms of the efficiency, cost, and speed of providing new applications and/or services such as cloud applications. However, traditional data center (DC) networks have limits in supporting cloud applications and multi-tenant networks [RFC7364]. The goal of data center Network Virtualization over Layer 3 (NVO3) networks is to decouple the communication among tenant systems from DC physical infrastructure networks and to allow one physical network infrastructure to: o carry many NVO3 virtual networks and isolate the traffic of different NVO3 virtual networks on a physical network. o provide independent address space in individual NVO3 virtual network such as Media Access Control (MAC) and IP. o Support flexible Virtual Machines (VMs) and/or workload placement including the ability to move them from one server to another without requiring VM address changes and physical infrastructure network configuration changes, and the ability to perform a "hot move" with no disruption to the live application running on those VMs. These characteristics of NVO3 virtual networks (VNs) help address the issues that cloud applications face in data centers [RFC7364]. Hosts in one NVO3 VN may communicate with hosts in another NVO3 VN that is carried by the same physical network, or different physical network, via a gateway. The use-case examples for the latter are as follows: 1) DCs that migrate toward an NVO3 solution will be done in steps, where a portion of tenant systems in a VN are on virtualized servers while others exist on a LAN. 2) many DC applications serve Internet users who are on different physical networks; 3) some applications are CPU bound, such as Big Data analytics, and may not run on virtualized resources. The inter-VN policies are usually enforced by the gateway. This document describes general NVO3 VN use cases that apply to various data centers. The use cases described here represent the DC provider's interests and vision for their cloud services. The Yong, et al. Informational [Page 3]
RFC 8151 NVO3 Use Case May 2017 document groups the use cases into three categories from simple to sophisticated in terms of implementation. However, the implementation details of these use cases are outside the scope of this document. These three categories are described below: o Basic NVO3 VNs (Section 2). All Tenant Systems (TSs) in the network are located within the same DC. The individual networks can be either Layer 2 (L2) or Layer 3 (L3). The number of NVO3 VNs in a DC is much larger than the number that traditional VLAN- based virtual networks [IEEE802.1Q] can support. o A virtual network that spans across multiple DCs and/or to customer premises where NVO3 virtual networks are constructed and interconnect other virtual or physical networks outside the DC. An enterprise customer may use a traditional carrier-grade VPN or an IPsec tunnel over the Internet to communicate with its systems in the DC. This is described in Section 3. o DC applications or services require an advanced network that contains several NVO3 virtual networks that are interconnected by gateways. Three scenarios are described in Section 4: (1) supporting multiple technologies; (2) constructing several virtual networks as a tenant network; and (3) applying NVO3 to a virtual Data Center (vDC). The document uses the architecture reference model defined in [RFC7365] to describe the use cases. 1.1. Terminology This document uses the terminology defined in [RFC7365] and [RFC4364]. Some additional terms used in the document are listed here. ASBR: Autonomous System Border Router. DC: Data Center. DMZ: Demilitarized Zone. A computer or small subnetwork between a more-trusted internal network, such as a corporate private LAN, and an untrusted or less-trusted external network, such as the public Internet. DNS: Domain Name Service [RFC1035]. Yong, et al. Informational [Page 4]
RFC 8151 NVO3 Use Case May 2017 DC Operator: An entity that is responsible for constructing and managing all resources in DCs, including, but not limited to, computing, storage, networking, etc. DC Provider: An entity that uses its DC infrastructure to offer services to its customers. NAT: Network Address Translation [RFC3022]. vGW: virtual GateWay. A gateway component used for an NVO3 virtual network to interconnect with another virtual/physical network. NVO3: Network Virtualization over Layer 3. A virtual network that is implemented based on the NVO3 architecture. PE: Provider Edge. SP: Service Provider. TS: A Tenant System, which can be instantiated on a physical server or virtual machine (VM). VRF-LITE: Virtual Routing and Forwarding - LITE [VRF-LITE]. VN: Virtual Network VoIP: Voice over IP WAN VPN: Wide Area Network Virtual Private Network [RFC4364] [RFC7432]. 1.2. NVO3 Background An NVO3 virtual network is in a DC that is implemented based on the NVO3 architecture [RFC8014]. This architecture is often referred to as an overlay architecture. The traffic carried by an NVO3 virtual network is encapsulated at a Network Virtualization Edge (NVE) [RFC8014] and carried by a tunnel to another NVE where the traffic is decapsulated and sent to a destination Tenant System (TS). The NVO3 architecture decouples NVO3 virtual networks from the DC physical network configuration. The architecture uses common tunnels to carry NVO3 traffic that belongs to multiple NVO3 virtual networks. An NVO3 virtual network may be an L2 or L3 domain. The network provides switching (L2) or routing (L3) capability to support host (i.e., TS) communications. An NVO3 virtual network may be required to carry unicast traffic and/or multicast or broadcast/unknown- Yong, et al. Informational [Page 5]
RFC 8151 NVO3 Use Case May 2017 unicast (for L2 only) traffic to/from TSs. There are several ways to transport NVO3 virtual network Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, and Multicast (BUM) traffic [NVO3MCAST]. An NVO3 virtual network provides communications among TSs in a DC. A TS can be a physical server/device or a VM on a server end-device [RFC7365]. 2. DC with a Large Number of Virtual Networks A DC provider often uses NVO3 virtual networks for internal applications where each application runs on many VMs or physical servers and the provider requires applications to be segregated from each other. A DC may run a larger number of NVO3 virtual networks to support many applications concurrently, where a traditional VLAN solution based on IEEE 802.1Q is limited to 4094 VLANs. Applications running on VMs may require a different quantity of computing resources, which may result in a computing-resource shortage on some servers and other servers being nearly idle. A shortage of computing resources may impact application performance. DC operators desire VM or workload movement for resource-usage optimization. VM dynamic placement and mobility results in frequent changes of the binding between a TS and an NVE. The TS reachability update mechanisms should take significantly less time than the typical retransmission Timeout window of a reliable transport protocol such as TCP and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), so that endpoints' transport connections won't be impacted by a TS becoming bound to a different NVE. The capability of supporting many TSs in a virtual network and many virtual networks in a DC is critical for an NVO3 solution. When NVO3 virtual networks segregate VMs belonging to different applications, DC operators can independently assign MAC and/or IP address space to each virtual network. This addressing is more flexible than requiring all hosts in all NVO3 virtual networks to share one address space. In contrast, typical use of IEEE 802.1Q VLANs requires a single common MAC address space. 3. DC NVO3 Virtual Network and External Network Interconnection Many customers (enterprises or individuals) who utilize a DC provider's compute and storage resources to run their applications need to access their systems hosted in a DC through Internet or Service Providers' Wide Area Networks (WAN). A DC provider can construct a NVO3 virtual network that provides connectivity to all the resources designated for a customer, and it allows the customer Yong, et al. Informational [Page 6]
RFC 8151 NVO3 Use Case May 2017 to access the resources via a virtual GateWay (vGW). WAN connectivity to the vGW can be provided by VPN technologies such as IPsec VPNs [RFC4301] and BGP/MPLS IP VPNs [RFC4364]. If a virtual network spans multiple DC sites, one design using NVO3 is to allow the network to seamlessly span the sites without DC gateway routers' termination. In this case, the tunnel between a pair of NVEs can be carried within other intermediate tunnels over the Internet or other WANs, or an intra-DC tunnel and inter-DC tunnel(s) can be stitched together to form an end-to-end tunnel between the pair of NVEs that are in different DC sites. Both cases will form one NVO3 virtual network across multiple DC sites. Two use cases are described in the following sections. 3.1. DC NVO3 Virtual Network Access via the Internet A customer can connect to an NVO3 virtual network via the Internet in a secure way. Figure 1 illustrates an example of this case. The NVO3 virtual network has an instance at NVE1 and NVE2, and the two NVEs are connected via an IP tunnel in the DC. A set of TSs are attached to NVE1 on a server. NVE2 resides on a DC Gateway device. NVE2 terminates the tunnel and uses the VN Identifier (VNID) on the packet to pass the packet to the corresponding vGW entity on the DC GW (the vGW is the default gateway for the virtual network). A customer can access their systems, i.e., TS1 or TSn, in the DC via the Internet by using an IPsec tunnel [RFC4301]. The IPsec tunnel is configured between the vGW and the customer gateway at the customer site. Either a static route or Internal Border Gateway Protocol (IBGP) may be used for prefix advertisement. The vGW provides IPsec functionality such as authentication scheme and encryption; IBGP traffic is carried within the IPsec tunnel. Some vGW features are listed below: o The vGW maintains the TS/NVE mappings and advertises the TS prefix to the customer via static route or IBGP. o Some vGW functions such as the firewall and load-balancer (LB) can be performed by locally attached network appliance devices. o If the NVO3 virtual network uses different address space than external users, then the vGW needs to provide the NAT function. o More than one IPsec tunnel can be configured for redundancy. Yong, et al. Informational [Page 7]
RFC 8151 NVO3 Use Case May 2017 o The vGW can be implemented on a server or VM. In this case, IP tunnels or IPsec tunnels can be used over the DC infrastructure. o DC operators need to construct a vGW for each customer.

DC NVO3 Virtual Network and SP WAN VPN Interconnection In this case, an enterprise customer wants to use a Service Provider (SP) WAN VPN [RFC4364] [RFC7432] to interconnect its sites with an NVO3 virtual network in a DC site. The SP constructs a VPN for the enterprise customer. Each enterprise site peers with an SP PE. The DC provider and VPN SP can build an NVO3 virtual network and a WAN VPN independently, and then interconnect them via a local link or a tunnel between the DC GW and WAN PE devices. The control plane interconnection options between the DC and WAN are described in [RFC4364]. Using the option "a" specified in [RFC4364] with VRF-LITE [VRF-LITE], both ASBRs, i.e., DC GW and SP PE, maintain a routing/forwarding table (VRF). Using the option "b" specified in [RFC4364], the DC ASBR and SP ASBR do not maintain the VRF table; they only maintain the NVO3 virtual network and VPN identifier mappings, i.e., label mapping, and swap the label on the packets in the forwarding process. Both option "a" and option "b" allow the se of NVO3 VNs and VPNs using their own identifiers, and two identifiers are mapped at the DC GW. With the option "c" in [RFC4364], the VN Yong, et al. Informational [Page 8]
RFC 8151 NVO3 Use Case May 2017 and VPN use the same identifier and both ASBRs perform the tunnel stitching, i.e., tunnel segment mapping. Each option has pros and cons [RFC4364] and has been deployed in SP networks depending on the application requirements. BGP is used in these options for route distribution between DCs and SP WANs. Note that if the DC is the SP's DC, the DC GW and SP PE can be merged into one device that performs the interworking of the VN and VPN within an Autonomous System. These solutions allow the enterprise networks to communicate with the tenant systems attached to the NVO3 virtual network in the DC without interfering with the DC provider's underlying physical networks and other NVO3 virtual networks in the DC. The enterprise can use its own address space in the NVO3 virtual network. The DC provider can manage which VM and storage elements attach to the NVO3 virtual network. The enterprise customer manages which applications run on the VMs without knowing the location of the VMs in the DC. (See Section 4 for more information.) Furthermore, in this use case, the DC operator can move the VMs assigned to the enterprise from one sever to another in the DC without the enterprise customer being aware, i.e., with no impact on the enterprise's "live" applications. Such advanced technologies bring DC providers great benefits in offering cloud services, but add some requirements for NVO3 [RFC7364] as well. 4. DC Applications Using NVO3 NVO3 technology provides DC operators with the flexibility in designing and deploying different applications in an end-to-end virtualization overlay environment. The operators no longer need to worry about the constraints of the DC physical network configuration when creating VMs and configuring a network to connect them. A DC provider may use NVO3 in various ways, in conjunction with other physical networks and/or virtual networks in the DC. This section highlights some use cases for this goal. 4.1. Supporting Multiple Technologies Servers deployed in a large DC are often installed at different times, and they may have different capabilities/features. Some servers may be virtualized, while others may not; some may be equipped with virtual switches, while others may not. For the servers equipped with Hypervisor-based virtual switches, some may support a standardized NVO3 encapsulation, some may not support any encapsulation, and some may support a documented encapsulation protocol (e.g., Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) [RFC7348] and Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Yong, et al. Informational [Page 9]
RFC 8151 NVO3 Use Case May 2017 Encapsulation (NVGRE) [RFC7637]) or proprietary encapsulations. To construct a tenant network among these servers and the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches, operators can construct one traditional VLAN network and two virtual networks where one uses VXLAN encapsulation and the other uses NVGRE, and interconnect these three networks via a gateway or virtual GW. The GW performs packet encapsulation/decapsulation translation between the networks. Another case is that some software of a tenant has high CPU and memory consumption, which only makes sense to run on standalone servers; other software of the tenant may be good to run on VMs. However, provider DC infrastructure is configured to use NVO3 to connect VMs and VLANs [IEEE802.1Q] to physical servers. The tenant network requires interworking between NVO3 and traditional VLAN. 4.2. DC Applications Spanning Multiple Physical Zones A DC can be partitioned into multiple physical zones, with each zone having different access permissions and running different applications. For example, a three-tier zone design has a front zone (Web tier) with Web applications, a mid zone (application tier) where service applications such as credit payment or ticket booking run, and a back zone (database tier) with Data. External users are only able to communicate with the Web application in the front zone; the back zone can only receive traffic from the application zone. In this case, communications between the zones must pass through one or more security functions in a physical DMZ zone. Each zone can be implemented by one NVO3 virtual network and the security functions in DMZ zone can be used to between two NVO3 virtual networks, i.e., two zones. If network functions (NFs), especially the security functions in the physical DMZ, can't process encapsulated NVO3 traffic, the NVO3 tunnels have to be terminated for the NF to perform its processing on the application traffic. 4.3. Virtual Data Center (vDC) An enterprise DC may deploy routers, switches, and network appliance devices to construct its internal network, DMZ, and external network access; it may have many servers and storage running various applications. With NVO3 technology, a DC provider can construct a vDC over its physical DC infrastructure and offer a vDC service to enterprise customers. A vDC at the DC provider site provides the same capability as the physical DC at a customer site. A customer manages its own applications running in its vDC. A DC provider can further offer different network service functions to the customer. The network service functions may include a firewall, DNS, LB, gateway, etc. Yong, et al. Informational [Page 10]
RFC 8151 NVO3 Use Case May 2017 Figure 2 illustrates one such scenario at the service-abstraction level. In this example, the vDC contains several L2 VNs (L2VNx, L2VNy, L2VNz) to group the tenant systems together on a per- application basis, and one L3 VN (L3VNa) for the internal routing. A network firewall and gateway runs on a VM or server that connects to L3VNa and is used for inbound and outbound traffic processing. An LB is used in L2VNx. A VPN is also built between the gateway and enterprise router. An Enterprise customer runs Web/Mail/Voice applications on VMs within the vDC. The users at the Enterprise site access the applications running in the vDC via the VPN; Internet users access these applications via the gateway/firewall at the DC provider site.

Furthermore, an enterprise customer may want multi-zones in a vDC (see Section 4.2) for the security and/or the ability to set different QoS levels for the different applications. Yong, et al. Informational [Page 11]
RFC 8151 NVO3 Use Case May 2017 The vDC use case requires an NVO3 solution to provide DC operators with an easy and quick way to create an NVO3 virtual network and NVEs for any vDC design, to allocate TSs and assign TSs to the corresponding NVO3 virtual network and to illustrate vDC topology and manage/configure individual elements in the vDC in a secure way. 5. Summary This document describes some general NVO3 use cases in DCs. The combination of these cases will give operators the flexibility and capability to design more sophisticated support for various cloud applications. DC services may vary, NVO3 virtual networks make it possible to scale a large number of virtual networks in a DC and ensure the network infrastructure not impacted by the number of VMs and dynamic workload changes in a DC. NVO3 uses tunnel techniques to deliver NVO3 traffic over DC physical infrastructure network. A tunnel encapsulation protocol is necessary. An NVO3 tunnel may, in turn, be tunneled over other intermediate tunnels over the Internet or other WANs. An NVO3 virtual network in a DC may be accessed by external users in a secure way. Many existing technologies can help achieve this. 6. Security Considerations Security is a concern. DC operators need to provide a tenant with a secured virtual network, which means one tenant's traffic is isolated from other tenants' traffic and is not leaked to the underlay networks. Tenants are vulnerable to observation and data modification/injection by the operator of the underlay and should only use operators they trust. DC operators also need to prevent a tenant application attacking their underlay DC networks; further, they need to protect a tenant application attacking another tenant application via the DC infrastructure network. For example, a tenant application attempts to generate a large volume of traffic to overload the DC's underlying network. This can be done by limiting the bandwidth of such communications. 7. IANA Considerations This document does not require any IANA actions. Yong, et al. Informational [Page 12]
