Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the note. Could you please check if the text added in section 7.7 is 
sufficient? This adds a reference to evpn-ipvpn-interworking draft that already 
has a section stating that attributes of type EVPN should NOT be preserved from 
EVPN to non-EVPN networks. There is also text added to explain why it is not 
beneficial to carry EVPN LBW into non-EVPN networks (in line with the point you 
have below).

Wanted to refrain from this draft defining interworking behavior and instead 
leave that for the interworking draft to define. Would it be clearer instead if 
this draft also explicitly states that the attribute should be dropped?

Thanks,
Neeraj

Subject: EVPN Link BW community cleanup
One thing I noted while browsing through the draft again after today's bess
presentation was a lack of text regarding "cleanup" of the EVPN LBW
community. (Although perhaps I'm browsing too shallowly.)

The community is defined as transitive, and procedures exist wherein EVPN
routes that may carry this community may be carried back and forth in
an Internet context. This means there exists the possibility that such EVPN
LBW communities may pass between networks where their context is different.
That is, network 1 shouldn't use network 2's bandwidth.

Community scrubbing is thus recommended.

Please consider reviewing the following document's section 7.5 for some
general wisdom and consider what text should be added to your draft that
might be appropriate for this situation.
