RE: MAC route with IP

[Linda Dunbar <[e-mail]>]

Isn’t it same as “Sticky MAC” or “Persistent MAC Learning”?

I would be more inclined to put a comma after when:
"In such scenarios, when the ARP entry times out and causes the MAC/IP to be withdrawn, then the MAC information will not be lost."

Cheers,
Jakob.

Btw should "in such scenerarios when" be "in such scenarios where" ?

Hi Jakob,

Changed your sentence to: "In such scenarios when the ARP entry times out and causes the MAC/IP to be withdrawn, then the MAC information will not be lost."

"Note that a MAC-only route can be advertised along with but independently of a MAC/IP route in scenarios where the MAC learning over the access network is done in the data-plane and independently of ARP snooping that generates the MAC/IP route. This ensures that if the ARP entry times out and causes the MAC/IP to be withdrawn, then the MAC information will not be lost. In scenarios where the host MAC/IP is learned via the management or control planes, the sender PE may advertise only the MAC/IP route."

Hi Aldrin,

How about the following:

"Note that a MAC-only route can be advertised along with but independent from MAC/IP route for scenarios where the MAC learning over access network/node is done in data-plane and independent from ARP snooping that generates MAC/IP route. In scenarios where host MAC/IP is learned via management or control plane, then the sender PE may only generates and advertises MAC/IP route."

How about:

"Note that a MAC-only route can be advertised along with MAC/IP routes for use cases where an active MAC must remain reachable when all IP's become disassociated with that MAC."

Hi Aldrin,

I believe the application of MAC/IP route in section 10 is clear. However, if you think we can make further clarification, please suggest the text. We need to make sure the functionality that we specify is clearly described and explained. We don't need to describe/mention the functionality that is not used/needed.

Thanks,
Ali
