Hi all,
I have looked up Section 8.3.1.2 of the 7432bis 
draft<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-13#section-8.3.1.2>,
 and it looks the same as the namesake section of RFC 
7432<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7432#section-8.3.1.2>: both 
documents assume that, in the case of P2MP LSPs being used for delivery of BUM 
traffic in EVPN, ESI labels are upstream-allocated from appropriate context 
label spaces.

However, RFC 7432 has been updated by RFC 
9573<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9573> with regard to allocation 
of ESI labels: these labels can be allocated from the Domain Common Block (DCB) 
per MH ES by an external management entity and not from the contest-specific 
label space. Such usage MUST be indicating by setting the DCB Flag in the PTA 
in the IMET (EVPN Type 3) route.

The metadata for RFC 7432 explicitly states that it is updated by RFC  9573 - 
but this update seems to be ignored in the 7432bis draft.

What, if anything, did I miss?

Regards, and lost of thanks in advance,
Sasha
