COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Given the drawbacks this document mentions regarding the default DF election
algorithm defined in RFC7432, I also think it would be better for this document
to update RFC7432 so that implementers are aware that there are better
alternatives out there.

* Section 3.2:

Who actually advertises Type 0 in the DF Alg field given that the legacy
RFC7432 implementations do not use this extended community at all?
