Yes - you are right, how much of a problem is this in a P node? Any value, except 4 and 6, will stop the P node from doing ECMP/Load Sharing, right? A P node will never look for the control word. So an Ethernet PW that carries the same value in the first nibble that we specify for bier will be treated the same way as a bier packet. This does not effect the bier packets, and is the right way to treat the PW. So where do we have the problem? BIER would be in the clear, as it will carry any value but 4 or 6 in the first nibble, right? PWs with control word will have 0 (or 1) and not be effected by a P node that are doing ECMP/Load Sharing. Ethernet PWs without control word might have any value in the first nibble, if there is 4 or 6 a P node might to ECMP/Load Sharing. It seems to me that specifying the first nibble in a bier packet would be good, for the time being I don't care if we say 0 or 5. If there are problems with Ethernet PWs without control word, this has to be solved in the context of PWs. /Loa > > Stewart
