Hi Alvaro,

Regarding your two remaining comments, let me address them directly here:

1)  I will get a registry for them set up when there will be more than one =
flag. Currently, there is only a single flag defined and we do not anticipa=
te any additional flags at this point.

2) regarding removing P2MP mention (so that it get generalized to MP2MP), I=
 will do that but will add a sentence to say the other tunnel types that ar=
e supported by EVPN - e.g., currently P2MP are supported but in the future =
MP2MP can also be supported. So, I don't wan to exclude MP2MP. I can add hi=
s sentence during the RFC editing phase, is that OK?

Cheers,
Ali

I was asking about 0x07 because that is a MP2MP LSP, and the text says that=
 the bits "indicate a P2MP tunnel":  P2MP, but not other types.  Maybe the =
solution is to just say "indicate a tunnel".

You said that IR doesn't make sense, but "optimized IR" does?  I'll take yo=
ur work for it...

Just double checking, no change needed (except s/P2MP//) if any other tunne=
l can be used.
