Hi Yubao, Thanks for reviewing the document. I don’t see any conflicting information:
* On one hand the use of type 1 RD for MAC-VRF is RECOMMENDED in rfc7432bis, which means that normally people will have a type 1 RD in MAC-VRFs. If you don’t follow that strong recommendation for the MAC-VRF RD, you can’t use the documented solutions in 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 * On the other hand draft-rabadan-bess-evpn-inter-domain-opt-b is documenting some existing solutions, but not specifying or imposing any in particular.. So I don’t think there is conflicting information. But if you still think we should clarify that in draft-rabadan-bess-evpn-inter-domain-opt-b we’ll be happy to do it. Thanks.

Please be very careful when clicking links or opening attachments. See the URL nok.it/ext for additional information. Hi Authors, It seems that draft-rabadan-bess-evpn-inter-domain-opt-b has conflicting discription with rfc7432 about the RD-type of AD per ES routes: Section 3.1.3 of draft-rabadan-bess-evpn-inter-domain-opt-b-00: "If that is the case, now the A-D per ES routes can use the route distinguisher assigned to the EVPN Instance (or VRF), which is the same one used by the routes type 2 or 5 for the EVI." Section 8.2.1 of rfc7432bis: "The Route Distinguisher MUST be a Type 1 RD [RFC4364]. The value field comprises an IP address of the PE (typically, the loopback address) followed by a number unique to the PE." The RD of EVI is not always a Type 1 RD but rfc7432 says that the RD of AD per ES route MUST be a Type1 RD. If it is not necessary to prevent other RD-types from being used in AD per ES routes, is it better for rfc7432bis to change the "MUST" to "MAY" ? I think such change is also compatible. Thanks, Yubao
