Hi Eric,

The =93leaf=94 or =93root=94 designation of an Attachment Circuit (AC) is d=
one by the operator / service provider on the PE device (and not on a CE). =
So, CE device has no control in changing a =93leaf=94 designation to a =93r=
oot=94. I added =93the network operator / service provider=94 to the text. =
Furthermore, I added additional text to address your second concern (e.g., =
regarding how to avoid any exchange among leaf ACs):

"Furthermore, this document provides additional security check by allowing =
sites (or ACs) of an EVPN instance to be designated as "Root" or "Leaf" by =
the network operator/ service provider and thus preventing any traffic exch=
ange among "Leaf" sites of that VPN through ingress filtering for known uni=
cast traffic and egress filtering for BUM traffic. Since by default and for=
 the purpose of backward compatibility, an AC that doesn't have a leaf desi=
gnation is considered as a root AC, in order to avoid any  traffic exchange=
 among leaf ACs, the operator SHOULD configure the AC with a proper role (l=
eaf or root) before activating the AC."

Cheers,
Ali

DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's not clear to me if the prohibition on leaf-to-leaf communications is
intended to be a security requirement. If so, it seems like it needs to
explicitly state why it is not possible for ACs which are leaf to pretend t=
o be
root. If not, then it should say so. Additionally, this solution appears to
rely very heavily on filtering, so I believe some text about what happens
during periods of filtering inconsistency (and what the impact on the secur=
ity
is).

 allowing sites (or ACs) of an EVPN instance to be designated as &quot;Root=
&quot; or &quot;Leaf&quot; by the network operator/ service provider and th=
us preventing any traffic exchange among &quot;Leaf&quot; sites of
 that VPN through ingress filtering for known unicast traffic and egress fi=
ltering for BUM traffic. Since by default and for the purpose of backward c=
ompatibility, an AC that doesn't have a leaf designation is considered as a=
 root AC, in order to avoid any
 &nbsp;traffic exchange among leaf ACs, the operator SHOULD configure the A=
C with a proper role (leaf or root) before activating the AC.&quot;</div>

<br>
It's not clear to me if the prohibition on leaf-to-leaf communications is<b=
r>
intended to be a security requirement. If so, it seems like it needs to<br>
explicitly state why it is not possible for ACs which are leaf to pretend t=
o be<br>
root. If not, then it should say so. Additionally, this solution appears to=
<br>
rely very heavily on filtering, so I believe some text about what happens<b=
r>
during periods of filtering inconsistency (and what the impact on the secur=
ity<br>
is).<br>
