Thanks, Jorge. Need another clarification. RFC 7432 does not describe how
to calculate the BDF for the default DF algo. Though it is straightforward
to calculate the BDF by eliminating the DF from the candidate list, would
an implementation calculating the BDF that way for the default DF algo
interoperate without any problem?

Regards,
Muthu
