Jorge,
Lots of thanks for a prompt and most helpful response.

IMHO the text is Section 6.2.1 should explicitly state your interpretation, i 
e.:

  *   Untagged customer traffic is encapsulated and forwarded "as is"
  *   Untagged Layer 2 control protocols traffic (identified by carrying 
well-known multicast destination MAC addresses is handled in accordance with 
appropriate local configuration for each specific protocol. They may be 
forwarded, discarded, or peered.

Does this make sense to you?

Regards,
Sasha

Hi Sasha,

The implementations I know, all the traffic – tagged and untagged – is mapped 
to the EVPN broadcast domain, for that type of service. Since no pop/push is 
done of the vlan tags, untagged traffic would be encapsulated into the EVPN 
packet and forwarded as is. My interpretation in this case of “The 
MPLS-encapsulated frames MUST remain tagged with the originating VID” is 
no-tagging for those packets, since the originating VID was non-existent.

I don’t see any issues with LACP and multihoming, since LACP PDUs are punted to 
the control plane on the PEs, and not forwarded.

Thanks.
Jorge

Hi,
I have a question regarding Section 6.2.1 of 
7432bis<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-09#section-6.2.1>.

This section defines Port-based Service Interface in EVPN as “a special case of 
the VLAN bundle service interface, where all of the VLANs on the port are part 
of the same service and map to the same bundle” . It further states that “The 
procedures are identical to those described in Section 6.2” which, in its turn, 
says that “no VID translation is allowed for this (VLAN bundle - Sasha) service 
interface type”.

My question is: what happens with untagged traffic received from an Ethernet 
port to which an EVI (or EVPN-VPWS) implementing port-based service interface 
is attached?
It seems that mapping untagged traffic to tagged using port-based VLAN ID at 
ingress and stripping this VLAN tag at egress is not compliant with the 
definitions above.

An interesting special case could be the case of an All-Active MH ES that runs 
LACP on its constituent links vs. the attached CE.

Your feedback would be highly appreciated.

Regards, and lots of thanks in advance,
Sasha
