Hi Mankamana Mishra and Luc Andre,
Thanks for replying and sorry for quoting wrong type, yes its Type-0
instead of Type-1.
As clarified in the draft Type-0 also can follow same Es-import RT as long
as it doesnt overlap, that's good.
Was trying to understand Type-3 how PE's MAC is going to make it same ESI
on two PE's.
Regards,
Prasanna
