Thanks for your explanations.
So the extensions is based on GENEVE and RFC8317,
Glad to see your working on EVPN extensions for GENEVE in the future.
I have mixed GENEVE with VXLAN, and I didn't see a leaf-label extension in
GENEVE, so I asked the question.
I get the point now,
Best wishes.
//Hi,
//
//Since the overlay tunnel encapsulation selected by NVO3 is GENEVE, IMHO we
should only work on EVPN extensions for GENEVE. VXLAN does not have the
required //extensibility.
//And indeed, we are working on EVPN extensions for GENEVE that will address
RFC8317 E-Tree services.
//
//SRv6 is a different beast.
//
//Finally, Local Bias can be used for all-active multi-homing, but not for
E-Tree, or at least I fail to see how you would do it.
//
//My 2 cents.

Subject: Some questions on E-Tree (RFC8317) services with VXLAN Encapsulation:
is it feasible? is it necessary? is it under definition already?
Hi folks,
I have some questions on E-Tree services with VXLAN Encapsulation,
1) It seems that RFC8317 only defines E-Tree service in MPLS (or PBB over MPLS
EVPN) encapsulation.
but there are other EVPN encapsulations, VXLAN and SRv6,
and the SRv6 EVPN solution also defined the E-Tree procedures framework with
Arg.FE2 included in DT2M SIDs
so, is the E-Tree service with VXLAN Encapsulation feasible? is it
necessary? is it under definition already?
2) i think the primary design with E-tree over MPLS EVPN is ESI/Leaf Label,
but in VXLAN encapsulation, there is no ESI Label or Leaf Label,
so, although it can do ESI filtering procedures with "Local Bias" procedure
and without ESI Label information,
the VXLAN Encapsulation can't do E-tree filtering procedures without Leaf
Label?
is it right or i have missed something?
Best Regards,
Wang Yubao
