Luc and 
all,https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-burdet-bess-evpn-fast-reroute-06#section-5.1
I have a question regarding significance of bypassing DF Election behavior in 
Section 5.1 of the EVPN Fast Reroute draft, at least in the case of All-Active 
multi-homing and EVPN-MPLS.

To the best of my understanding, in this case DF Election based filtering is 
applied only to BUM traffic. Per Section 11.2 of RFC 
7432<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7432#section-11.2> this traffic 
is carried using the label advertised in the PMSI attribute in the EVPN IMET 
route so that DF Election-based filtering can be applied only to the traffic 
received with this label:

  *   In the case of ingress replication, this label is down-stream allocated 
by the egress PE and therefore would be different from the ERL label
  *   In the case of P-multicast trees, this label would be upstream-allocated 
by the ingress PE and, in the case of non-aggregated tunnels, preceded by the 
label that identifies the P-multicast tree. (I am leaving aside the case of 
aggregated P-multicast trees).
I.e., in both cases, the egress PE can identify the received BUM traffic based 
on the label stack in its EVPN encapsulation and apply DF-Election-based 
filtering just to this traffic - but not to traffic received with the ESL or 
ERL labels.

What, if anything, do I miss?

Regards, and lots of thanks in advance,
Sasha
