Bhupesh,

My main open concern is the modeling of MAC flush in BGP. How do we
ensure with this proposal that the amount of messages remains low.

So in essence I would like to see a proposal how the MAC flush operation
in BGP would be modeled.

Cheers,
Wim

I thought I addressed all you MAC flush concerns. :-) 

As I said, MAC flush capability in BGP based VPLS will be added to
address the concern you pointed out (with multiple VE IDs) and other
cases where MAC flush is needed.

Can you be specific on what is your open concern.
