Re: [bess] Question regarding RFC6625 and this draft-->//RE: I-D Action: draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-expl-track-13.txt

Robert,

You may want to leave the previous tunnel (if it is no longer needed for other traffic). E.g., sending an mldp label withdrawal or withdrawing a Leaf A-D route.

Hi Jeffrey,

Isn't this just a matter of how you would be implementing "tunneling" ?

For vast majority of decapsulations there is no state as such, but it is just part of one of normal switching vectors in the router.

Best,
R.

The receiver PE cannot keep its state to receive on both tunnels forever. After some time, it has to leave the old tunnel.
