Apology, if these queries have come in too late in the cycle.

Thanks

Hello Authors of draft-ietf-bess-evpn-lsp-ping draft,

I have following queries regarding this draft:

>>>> Do we intend-to-use/call-out-usage-of "wild-card/don't-care" values for 
>>>> attributes carried in the sub-TLVs ?
For example, If the admin intends  to check the reachability to host 
(MAC_X/IP_X) published (in route-type-2)  by remote PE.
The remote PE learnt it locally over ESI_X against Vlan X (mapped to BD_XYZ).

Is it possible, that the "EVPN MAC sub-tlv"  can carry the "Route 
Distinguisher" and "Ethernet Segment Identifier" as don't care.

>>>> Another caseto handle would be test the reachability to tenant-VRF VRF_X 
>>>> (with EVPN mapped EVI) configured on the remote PE, PE1.
VRF_X has no active IP/IPv6 interface configured and its sole usage is to 
obtain the leaked (via IVRL) routes from other VRFs (non-EVPN) and PE1 
published this to other peers via EVPN control plane. Till the first prefix 
(learnt ) route is published (Route Type 5) by PE1 for the EVI (mapped to 
VRF_X), the tunnels will not be provisioned on other PEs.
In order to test the reachability to VRF_X (on PE1) from another PEs, let's 
say, PE2 or a centralized-controller (which can emulate/supports MPLS),

It may need to carry all/subset-of attributes with "don't-care/wild-card" in 
"EVPN IP Prefix Sub-TLV".


Please let know your thoughts on above.

Thanks
Saumya.
