Thanks for sending comments.

> - In the last IETF, I suggested the use of BGP and the BGP-BFD attribute to exchange discriminators, as in section 3.1.6 of draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-fast-failover. The idea seemed to be accepted, but it is not in the new version. This would allow the signaling of the discriminators along with MAC/IP routes, IMET routes, AD per-EVI routes, IP-Prefix routes, etc. without the burden of having to support the EVPN LSP-ping draft.

There is a draft version -02 in the works intended to include
distribution of BFD discriminators in BGP but this revision was not
completed to the agreement of the authors in time to posted before
this meeting.

> - The draft describes an encapsulation and an alternative encapsulation. Is the intend to keep both? Wouldn't be better to leave only one to ease implementations and interoperability?

Currently, the candidate version -02 draft dispenses with with the
alternative encapsulation.

Thanks,
Donald
