Agree that in practice the tunnel types will be same, given they are part of 
the same domain as you pointed out below.

I assume it doesn't really break things if different tunnel types would be used 
in different CPs? If not, no additional clarification is needed I guess.
Might even be a "feature" in transition from Sr-MPLS to SRv6? Though that type 
of use would probably require some additional description.

Eduard,
SR P2MP Policy draft does not have the text since it does not deal with 
MVPN/EVPN.

All the CPs of an SR-P2MP Policy result in SR P2MP trees computed and 
instantiated in an SR domain. Therefore, it is obvious if SR-P2MP Policy is 
used for MVPN./EVPN, the P-tunnel type for these SR-P2MP trees will be SR-MPLS 
or SRv6 P2MP P-tunnel type. But if you think this document requires some text 
to clarify this, I can add it in the next revision.

Regards,
Rishabh

[RP] All the P-tunnels instantiated by different Candidate Paths of an SR P2MP 
Policy have either SR-MPLS P2MP Tree or SRv6 P2MP Tree.

I was looking for something like this. Is this defined somewhere (maybe in the 
policy draft, I did not check)? If not, is it worth adding?

cheers,

Eduard,
Thanks for the review. Comments inline @ [RP]

For what it's worth, the change in structure I think has improved readability.

Few small points I noted:
There is a type in section 3.1.3: "carried in AFI/SAFI 1/129 (MVPN-IPv4) or 
1/129 (MVPN-IPv6)", should be "... 2/129 (MVPN-IPv6)"

[RP] Good catch. Will fix it in the next revision.


In section 3.2.1 is stated:
"For segmented P-tunnels, each segment can be instantiated by a different 
technology."

Instead of "different technology" would it be better to state "different tunnel 
type"? I assume at least this refers to the tunnel type.

[RP] Good suggestion. We will change the text in the next revision.

Related to this, should some similar text be included for regular, 
non-segmented tunnels? Are the tunnel-types of all CPs and tunnel instances in 
a policy assumed to be the same, or could these be different?

[RP] All the P-tunnels instantiated by different Candidate Paths of an SR P2MP 
Policy have either SR-MPLS P2MP Tree or SRv6 P2MP Tree.

Segmented P-tunnels are segmented and stitched at a boundary, say an ASBR or 
ABR (for seamless MPLS like deployments). The first segment can be SR P2MP 
P-tunnel type, the second segment can be Ingress Replication P-tunnel type, the 
third can be MLDP P-tunnel type and so on. OTOH, non-segmented P-tunnels have 
one P-tunnel of a given type (across the boundary devices). I hope this 
clarifies the distinction between these two ways to instantiate P-tunnels.


cheers,

Hi WG,



As result of the IESG review, draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-evpn-sr-p2mp has been 
modified significantly.

We would like to ensure that there is still consensus on the document text 
after these changes.



Please carefully read the document and provide any objection/comment by January 
19th.

Thanks in advance,
