[bess] Fw: New Version Notification for draft-xie-bess-evpn-extension-evn6-00.txt

[Chongfeng Xie <[e-mail]>]

Hi Ali,
Thank you for your comments to EVN6 during the BESS session.  I'd like to clarify your concern, you mentioned that IPv6 address generated by mapping MAC address may hinder the use of SRv6, I don't think so, since SIDs is contained in the SRH header, a source node can originate an IPv6 packet with a SID in the destination address of the IPv6 header, following the proceduer of section 4 of RFC8754.  
In addition, I think EVN6 (defined in  draft-xls-intarea-evn6) is a kind of efficent and flexible approach of carrying Ethernet Virtual Network over IPv6.

Best regards
Chongfeng

Abstract:
 
   EVN6 is a mechanism designed to carry Ethernet virtual networks,
   providing Ethernet connectivity to customer sites dispersed on public
   IPv6 networks.  At the data layer, EVN6 directly places the Ethernet
   frames in the payload of IPv6 packet, and dynamically generates the
   IPv6 addresses of the IPv6 header using host MAC addresses and other
   information, then sends them into IPv6 network for transmission.
   This document proposes extensions to EVPN for EVN6, including two new
   route types and related procedures.
