Hi all, Two very short comments on the draft in question<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-tantsura-bess-evpn-route-type-exp-use-00>: 1. I strongly support this draft, IMHO it is absolutely necessary 2. Regarding handing of Experimental EVPN Route Types by Route Reflectors (and issue raised by several participants during discussion): Section 5.4 of RFC 7607<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7606#section-5.4> says that, in the case of "typed" SAFI, BGP speakers MUST used routes of unknown types in such a SAFI using "treat as discard" -unless the relevant specification for that address family specifies otherwise. So I suggest to add the corresponding clarification to the definition of SAFI 70 in 7432bis.
