Section: 3.1

Original Text
-------------
This document defines a new extended community [RFC4360], to be included with per-EVI Ethernet A-D routes.  This attribute is mandatory if multihoming is enabled.

Corrected Text
--------------
This document defines a new extended community [RFC4360], to be included with per-EVI Ethernet A-D routes.  

If multihoming is enabled, this attribute is MANDATORY regardless of whether the per-EVI Ethernet A-D route is advertised by an EVPN-VPWS instance or by a "bridging" EVPN instance.



Notes
-----
The lower-case "mandatory" used in the original text does not represent any form of requirement in IETF documents, therefore replacing with upper-case "MANDATORY" is needed.

The reference to per-EVI Ethernet A-D routes advertised by both "bridging" EVPN and EVPN-VPWS is needed to remove possible doubts about the scope of this requirement since the standard is about EVPN-VPWS.
