Hi Greg, Menachem:

I believe during the Greg’s presentation at the BESS WG (which I was attending remotely), I voiced my concerns regarding mandating control word for all cases. So, let me repeat it in context of your comment:

Why do we need to mandate control word when all nodes in a network use entropy label for ECMP load balancing?


Cheers,
Ali

Hello Authors,

Just wondering why none of the discussion held at Brisbane meeting in March and subsequently on the emailing list regarding the PFN ( see the emails with subject: “Re: [bess] PFN questions in rfc4732bis” )  requesting changes in setion 7.11.1 and section 18 , were not included in the latest draft update.

I think the last email on this subject was sent on 15th April 2024.


In section 7.11 following the discussions I think that the following sentence should be removed:
“It is recommended that the control word be included in the absence of an entropy label [RFC6790].”


 In section 18 “If a network (inclusive of all PE and P nodes) uses entropy labels

      per [RFC6790] for ECMP load balancing, then the control word may

      not be used.



Should be changed to:  “If a network (inclusive of all PE and P nodes) uses entropy labels

      per [RFC6790] for ECMP load balancing, then the control word should

      be used, refer to draft-ietf-mpls-1stnibble



Thank you kindly,

Best Regards,
Menachem Dodge

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-09.txt is now available. It is a
work item of the BGP Enabled ServiceS (BESS) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN
   Authors: Ali Sajassi

Abstract:

   This document describes procedures for Ethernet VPN (EVPN), a BGP
   MPLS-based solution which addresses the requirements specified in the
   corresponding RFC - "Requirements for Ethernet VPN (EVPN)".  This
   document obsoletes RFC7432 (BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN) and updates
   RFC8214 (Virtual Private Wire Service Support in Ethernet VPN).
