Technical Summary

   This document describes a new EVPN VPWS service type specifically for
   multiplexing multiple attachment circuits across different Ethernet
   Segments and physical interfaces into a single EVPN VPWS service
   tunnel and still providing Single-Active and All-Active multi-homing.
   This new service is referred to as flexible cross-connect service.
   After a description of the rationale for this new service type, the
   solution to deliver such service is detailed.

Working Group Summary

   Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting?
   For example, was there controversy about particular points 
   or were there decisions where the consensus was
   particularly rough? 

No controversy and a strong WG consensus around this draft, including multiple
implementations.

Document Quality

   Are there existing implementations of the protocol?  Have a 
   significant number of vendors indicated their plan to
   implement the specification?  Are there any reviewers that
   merit special mention as having done a thorough review,
   e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a
   conclusion that the document had no substantive issues?  If
   there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review,
   what was its course (briefly)?  In the case of a Media Type
   Review, on what date was the request posted?

There are multiple existing implementations from this specification.
