RFC 8214 (EVPN VPWS) introduces a new EVPN Layer 2 Attributes extended
community for signaling the L2 MTU and other control flags, including the
one to signal that the control word needs to be included when sending
packets to this PE. It further describes how MTU checking is to be
performed when signaled using this extended community.

RFC 7432 however is completely silent about it. Is the extended community
described in RFC 8214 expected to used in EVPN (VPLS) as well to signal
things like the usage of control word?

Muthu
