Dear Editors of the EVPN YANG data model draft<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-bess-evpn-yang-05>,
I have several questions regarding the draft, and would highly appreciated your responses.


1.       The -05 version of the draft has expired almost two months ago. Do you plan to refresh it any time soon?

2.       The draft consistently uses type uint32 for the Ethernet segment identifier (ESI), while RFC 7432 explicitly defines it as a 10-octet integer. Is this just a typo, or did I miss something substantial here?

3.       The draft states that it covers Integrated Routing and Bridging in EVPN, but I could not find any traces of such coverage. Did I miss something, or is just a forward declaration for the future version of the draft?

4.       RFC 7432 states that "When a customer site is connected to one or more PEs via a set of Ethernet links, then this set of Ethernet links constitutes an Ethernet segment". The Virtual Ethernet Segment draft<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-bess-evpn-virtual-eth-segment-00> expands this definition and, so that virtual Ethernet Segments can be comprised of:

*         Ethernet Virtual Circuits aggregated on an ENNI physical ports

*         Ethernet PWs or even MPLS LSPs.
Can you please clarify the following:

a.       How does the proposed YANG data model differentiate between physical and virtual Ethernet Segments?

b.       Does this data model cover the scenario where the virtual Ethernet segments are represented by EVCs?

5.       RFC 7432 includes recommendations for usage (or non-usage) of the Control Word in the EVPN encapsulation, and RFC 8214 (which is claimed to be covered by this draft) provides a control plane mechanism for exchanging the CW usage information. Can you please clarify whether the draft cover usage of the CW in the EVPN encapsulations?
Your feedback will be highly appreciated.

Regards, and lots of thanks in advance,
Sasha
