Re: [l2vpn] WG adoption call for the draft "Usage and applicability of BGP MPLS based Ethernet VPN", draft-rp-l2vpn-evpn-usage-02

[Stefan Plug <[e-mail]>]

I believe this draft still uses the terms 'packet' and 'frame' quite
indiscriminately.

Again as an example
'The MPLS-encapsulated packet' on page 13 point e) which indicates that
only the packet i.e. L3 is encapsulated (which would remove the L2
information needed).

In reality the entire frame is encapsulated as is indeed stated on page 26:
"PE1 will push the MPLS Label(s) onto the original Ethernet frame and
send the packet to the MPLS network"

I would like to see the terminology changed to avoid confusion and
therefore must object for now.
