The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7543,
"Covering Prefixes Outbound Route Filter for BGP-4".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5258

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Alexander ("Sasha") Vainshtein <alexander.vainshtein@ecitele.com>

Section: Section 5

Original Text
-------------
The UMR is characterized as follows:

   o  EVPN Route Type is equal to MAC/IP Advertisement Route

   o  MAC address length is equal to 0

   o  IP address length is equal to 0

Corrected Text
--------------
In Section 5:

The UMR is characterized as follows:

   o  EVPN Route Type is equal to MAC/IP Advertisement Route

   o  MAC address length is equal to 48

   o  IP address length is equal to 0

Notes
-----
The original text provides conflicting definitions of the MAC Address Length in the Unknown MAC Route (UMR).

Since the UMR is a MAC/IP Advertisement Route defined in RFC 7432, and since this RFC states that the MAC Address Length in these routes is 48, the text in Section 5 should be corrected to match RFC 7432 as well as the text in Section 1 of this RFC (where MAC Address Length in the UMR is correctly defined as 48).

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
