Hello All,

Checking on the need for draft-li-idr-link-bandwidth-ex when we already
have the EVPN Link Bandwidth Extended Community
(draft-ietf-bess-evpn-unequal-lb). Is it because of the name containing
"EVPN" or am I missing something?

If it is just the name, I hope we still have the time to change it in
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-unequal-lb?

We already have 2 types (ignoring the transitive/non-transitive variants)
and I hope we can avoid the need for a third one ...

Thanks,
Ketan
