No it wasn’t - neither the “vDC” acronym nor its “virtual DC” expansion
appear in the NVO3 architecture draft.


in the section 2 it is clear:
section 2 draft> This document uses the same terminology as

[RFC7365].

IMHO, it means that this draft has same terminology included in the draft
as rfc7365 (i.e, virtual DC is defined in RFC7365). It is used in many
drafts in IETF that authors don't like to repeat such similar RFC with
similar approach (even in scientific articles it is great practice to
reference related work).

AB>  the authors can mention the different terminology or that virtual DC
is not included in the architecture, but is there a reason why we should
not add an information that points to this. For me as we can have a VLAN
defined on a LAN, then we can have vDC on a DC.

Thanks for your replies,

Best Regards
