Authors,

While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as necessary) the 
following questions, which are also in the XML file.

1) <!--[rfced] Please note that the title has been updated as follows.
The abbreviation has been expanded per Section 3.6 of RFC 7322
("RFC Style Guide"). Please review.

Original:
   Preference-based EVPN DF Election

Current:
   Preference-Based EVPN Designated Forwarder (DF) Election
-->
[jorge] the change is good, thanks.



2) <!-- [rfced] Please insert any keywords (beyond those that appear in
the title) for use on https://www.rfc-editor.org/search. -->
[jorge] Highest-Preference, Lowest-Preference, Non-Revertive, Don’t Preempt, 
Preemption



3) <!-- [rfced] We note that the term "Default Designated Forwarder
Algorithm" does not appear in RFC 7432 (it does use "Designated
Forwarder"). Is an update needed to the term, reference, or
placement of the citation?

Original:
   While the Default Designated Forwarder Algorithm [RFC7432] or the
   Highest Random Weight algorithm (HRW) [RFC8584] provide an efficient
   and automated way of selecting the Designated Forwarder across
   different Ethernet Tags in the Ethernet Segment, there are some
   use-cases where a more user-controlled method is required.
-->
[jorge] The term “default designated forwarder algorithm" is introduced in 
RFC8584 as the algorithm used in RFC7432, hence the reference. But it is 
probably more correct to use RFC8584 for both. That is:
OLD:
   While the Default Designated Forwarder Algorithm [RFC7432] or the
   Highest Random Weight algorithm (HRW) [RFC8584] provide an efficient
   and automated way of selecting the Designated Forwarder across
   different Ethernet Tags in the Ethernet Segment, there are some
   use-cases where a more user-controlled method is required.
NEW:

   and automated way of selecting the Designated Forwarder across
   different Ethernet Tags in the Ethernet Segment, there are some
   use-cases where a more user-controlled method is required.



4) <!--[rfced] DP vs. D

a) In Section 2, we note that the description for "DP" includes "(me)";
however, "(me)" is not used elsewhere in the document or in the
"DF Election Capabilities" registry
<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iana.org%2Fassignments%2Fbgp-extended-communities&data=05%7C02%7Cjorge.rabadan%40nokia.com%7Cf873d1f8c8b244f57fb208dd93ef323e%7C5d4717519675428d917b70f44f9630b0%7C0%7C0%7C638829377775963302%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=7Pl96EnxeOYry9WcOFmEj1pj5NIjbPJNs6XOLEGFEiE%3D&reserved=0<https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-extended-communities>>.
Should it be removed?

Current:
   DP: Refers to the "Don't Preempt" (me) capability in the
   Designated Forwarder Election extended community.

Perhaps:
   DP: Refers to the "Don't Preempt" capability in the
   DF Election Extended Community.
[jorge] I agree with the suggestion.


b) Section 2 says "DP" refers to the "Don't Preempt" capability, but
Section 3 says "DP" refers to the "D bit" or "'Don't Preempt' bit".
There are also 11 instances of "DP bit" and "DP capability". Are the
'Don't Preempt' bit and "Don't Preempt" capability the same or
different? Please let us know if/how we can make these consistent
within the text and IANA registry.

Current (in the running text):

  "Don't Preempt" capability vs.
  'Don't Preempt' bit vs.
  DP capability vs.
  DP bit vs.
  D bit

In the DF Election Capabilities Registry:

   Bit   Name                             Reference
   - -   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    - - - - - -
   0     D (Don't Preempt) Capability     RFC XXXX
-->
[jorge] We can use “Don’t Preempt Capability” everywhere, except in section 3. 
Section 3 describes what “bit” of the extended community indicates the Don’t 
Preempt Capability when set. We can make this change in section 3 to clarify:
OLD:
Bit 0 (corresponds to Bit 24 of the DF Election Extended Community, and it is 
defined by this document): The D bit, or 'Don't Preempt' bit ("DP" hereafter), 
determines if the PE advertising the Ethernet Segment route requests the remote 
PEs in the Ethernet Segment to not preempt it as the Designated Forwarder.
NEW:
Bit 0 (corresponds to Bit 24 of the DF Election Extended Community, and it is 
defined by this document): The D bit, or 'Don't Preempt' Capability, determines 
if the PE advertising the Ethernet Segment route requests the remote PEs in the 
Ethernet Segment to not preempt it as the Designated Forwarder.



5) <!--[rfced] Should "route type 1" be "Route Type (1 octet)"
per RFC 7432 or as "Route Type 1" per the description of
"Ethernet A-D per EVI route" in RFC 8584 (which updates RFC 7432)?

Also, may we move the citation to the end of the sentence as we note that
it refers to both "Route Type 1" and "Auto-Discovery".

Original:
   Ethernet A-D per EVI route - refers to [RFC7432] route type 1 or
   Auto-Discovery per EVPN Instance route.

Perhaps:
   Ethernet A-D per EVI route: Refers to Route Type 1 or
      Auto-Discovery per the EVPN Instance route [RFC7432].
-->
[jorge] counter proposal (remove “the”):
OLD:
   Ethernet A-D per EVI route - refers to [RFC7432] route type 1 or
   Auto-Discovery per EVPN Instance route.

NEW:
   Ethernet A-D per EVI route: Refers to Route Type 1 or
      Auto-Discovery per EVPN Instance route [RFC7432].




6) <!--[rfced] Is it correct that the default DF algorithm is the same
as the "modulus-based algorithm as per [RFC7432]"? If so,
even though this text currently matches RFC 8584, would it be
more clear to use  "i.e.," or another phrase to indicate that
these are equivalent (rather than alternatives)?

Original:
   Alg 0 - Default Designated Forwarder Election algorithm, or
            modulus-based algorithm as per [RFC7432].

Perhaps:
   Alg 0 - Default Designated Forwarder Election algorithm, i.e.,
           the modulus-based algorithm as per [RFC7432].

For comparison, from RFC 8584:
      -  Type 0: Default DF election algorithm, or modulus-based
         algorithm as defined in [RFC7432].
-->
[jorge] I agree with the suggestion.



7) <!--[rfced] Should Figure 2 be updated to show the T bit as
defined in RFC-to-be 9722 (draft-ietf-bess-evpn-fast-df-recovery-12),
which also update RFC 8584 and is currently in AUTH48 state? If so,
should any text be added to mention that document?

Current:
                       1 1 1 1 1 1
   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
  +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
  |D|A|                           |
  +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Perhaps:
                       1 1 1 1 1 1
   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
  +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
  |D|A| |T|                       |
  +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
-->
[jorge] I prefer not to add “T”. Bit A is added here because the capability 
that represents is used later in the text. It is not necessary to show here 
other capabilities that exist in other specs.



8) <!--[rfced] FYI: We removed "described by this document" in the
following entry (in Section 3) to avoid redundancy as the
description points to Section 4.1 of this document. Please
let us know of any objections.

Original:
   *  Designated Forwarder (DF) Preference (described in this document):
      defines a 2-octet value that indicates the PE preference to become
      the Designated Forwarder in the Ethernet Segment, as described in
      Section 4.1.

Current:
   *  Designated Forwarder (DF) Preference: Defines a 2-octet value that
      indicates the PE preference to become the Designated Forwarder in
      the Ethernet Segment, as described in Section 4.1.
-->
[jorge] I agree with the suggestion.



9) <!--[rfced] Is "DF Algorithms" intended to be singular possessive
(option A) or plural (option B)? Please let us know how we may
update this text for clarity.

Original:
   The Designated Forwarder Preference field is specific
   to DF Algorithms Highest-Preference and Lowest-Preference,
   and this document does not define any meaning for other
   algorithms.

Perhaps A:
   The Designated Forwarder Preference field is specific
   to a DF Algorithm's Highest-Preference and Lowest-Preference,
   and this document does not define any meaning for other
   algorithms.

Perhaps B:
   The Designated Forwarder Preference field is specific
   to Highest-Preference and Lowest-Preference DF Algorithms,
   and this document does not define any meaning for other
   algorithms.
-->
[jorge] use “Perhaps B”, please



10) <!--[rfced] Section 4.1: For readability, may spaces be added after
commas in the parameter lists (as shown in Option A)? If so, other
instances will be updated accordingly; one sample is below.

In addition, would you like to format the examples as lists (Option B)?

Original:
   a.  vES1 and vES2 are now configurable with three optional parameters
       that are signaled in the Designated Forwarder Election extended
       community.  These parameters are the Preference, Preemption
       option (or "Don't Preempt" option) and DF Algorithm.  We will
       represent these parameters as (Pref,DP,Alg).  For instance, vES1
       (Pref,DP,Alg) is configured as (500,0,Highest-Preference) in PE1,
       and (255,0,Highest-Preference) in PE2. vES2 is configured as
       (100,0,Highest-Preference), (200,0,Highest-Preference) and
       (300,0,Highest-Preference) in PE1, PE2 and PE3 respectively.

Option A:
   a.  vES1 and vES2 are now configurable with three optional parameters
       that are signaled in the DF Election Extended Community.  These
       parameters are the Preference, Preemption (or "Don't Preempt")
       option, and DF Algorithm. We will represent these parameters as
       (Pref, DP, Alg).  For instance, vES1 (Pref, DP, Alg) is
       configured as (500, 0, Highest-Preference) in PE1, and (255, 0,
       Highest-Preference) in PE2. vES2 is configured as (100, 0,
       Highest-Preference), (200, 0, Highest-Preference) and (300, 0,
       Highest-Preference) in PE1, PE2, and PE3, respectively.

Option B:
   a.  vES1 and vES2 are now configurable with three optional parameters
       that are signaled in the DF Election Extended Community.  These
       parameters are the Preference, Preemption (or "Don't Preempt")
       option, and DF Algorithm.  We will represent these parameters as
       (Pref, DP, Alg).  For instance, vES1 (Pref, DP, Alg) is
       configured as:

          (500, 0, Highest-Preference) in PE1,
          (255, 0, Highest-Preference) in PE2.

       vES2 is configured as

          (100, 0, Highest-Preference) in PE1,
          (200, 0, Highest-Preference) in PE2, and
          (300, 0, Highest-Preference) in PE3.
[jorge] I like Option B, please use it.


Sample from Section 4.3 if the space is added:

   PE3 will select PE2 as the
   Highest-PE over PE1, because when comparing (Pref, DP,
   PE-IP), (200, 1, PE2-IP) wins over (100, 1, PE1-IP).  PE3 will
   select PE1 as the Lowest-PE over PE2, because
   (100, 1, PE1-IP) wins over (200, 1, PE2-IP).
-->
[jorge] I agree with the suggestion



11) <!--[rfced] FYI: We removed the citation from the title of Section 4.2
as RFC 7432 is cited within the first sentence.

Original:
   4.2.  Use of the Highest-Preference or Lowest-Preference algorithm
         in [RFC7432] Ethernet Segments

Current:
   4.2.  Use of the Highest-Preference or Lowest-Preference Algorithm
         in Ethernet Segments
-->
[jorge] I agree with the suggestion



12) <!--[rfced] FYI, we added a space after the comma
after "Ethernet Tag-range" for consistency with the example
in this sentence. Please let us know if you prefer otherwise.

Original:
   *  In addition, assuming VLAN-based service interfaces and that the
      PEs are attached to all Ethernet Tags in the range 1-4000, both
      PE1 and PE2 may be configured with (Ethernet Tag-range,Lowest-
      Preference), e.g., (2001-4000, Lowest-Preference).

      PE1 and PE2 may be configured with (Ethernet Tag-range, Lowest-
      Preference), e.g., (2001-4000, Lowest-Preference).
-->
[jorge] I agree with the suggestion



13) <!--[rfced] In Section 4.3, item (5) lists the steps PE3 will
take. The first two bullet points work off of the introductory
sentence; however, the 3rd and 4th bullet points do not.  To
make the list parallel, may we rephrase the 3rd and 4th
bullet points as shown below?

Original:
  PE3 will then:

  [...]

  *  Note that, a PE will always send its DP capability set to zero
     as long as the advertised Pref is the 'in-use' operational
     Pref (as opposed to the 'administrative' Pref).

  *  This Ethernet Segment route update sent by PE3, with
     (200,0,PE3-IP), will not cause any Designated Forwarder
     switchover for any Ethernet Tag. PE2 will continue being
     Designated Forwarder for Ethernet Tag-1.  This is because
     the DP bit will be used as a tiebreaker in the Designated
     Forwarder election.  That is, if a PE has two candidate PEs
     with the same Pref, it will pick the one with DP=1.  There are
     no Designated Forwarder changes for Ethernet Tag-2 either.

Perhaps:
  PE3 will then:

  [...]

  *  Send its DP capability set to zero, as long as the advertised
     Pref is the 'in-use' operational Pref (as opposed to the
     'administrative' Pref).

     with the same Pref, it will pick the one with DP=1.  There
     are no Designated Forwarder changes for Ethernet Tag-2 either.
-->
[jorge] the last bullet in the proposal is not correct. Suggestion:
OLD:
  PE3 will then:

14) <!--[rfced] FYI, this sentence was updated for readability (rephrased
the opening clause; changed "and impact" to "to impact"). Please
review whether it conveys the intended meaning.

Original:
   With Highest-Preference or Lowest-Preference as DF Algorithm,
   an attacker may change the configuration of the Preference
   value on a PE and Ethernet Segment, and impact the traffic
   going through that PE and Ethernet Segment.

Current:
   When the DF Algorithm is Highest-Preference or Lowest-Preference,
   an attacker may change the configuration of the Preference
   value on a PE and Ethernet Segment to impact the traffic
   going through that PE and Ethernet Segment.
-->
[jorge] I agree with the suggestion



15) <!-- [rfced] Would you like the references to be alphabetized
or left in their current order?
-->
[jorge] alphabetized, please



16) <!-- [rfced] Terminology

a) May we update the following terms to the form on the right for
consistency within the document and Cluster 492 (C492)?

  Designated Forwarder Election vs.
   Designated Forwarder election -> DF election

  Designated Forwarder Election Algorithm vs.
   Designated Forwarder Election algorithm vs.
   Designated Forwarder election algorithm -> DF election algorithm

  Default Designated Forwarder Election Algorithm vs.
   Default Designated Forwarder Election algorithm vs.
   default Designated Forwarder election algorithm
   -> default DF election algorithm (per RFC 8584)
[jorge] I’m ok with the suggestion


b) Throughout the text, the following terminology appears to be used
inconsistently. Please review these occurrences and let us know if/how they
may be made consistent.

 Default DF Algorithm vs. Default Algorithm vs. Default algorithm
   [Note: Should "Default" perhaps be lowercase? Should "DF" be
   removed or added for consistency (also see (c) below)?
   Perhaps: "default DF algorithm" (per RFC 8584)
[jorge] I’m ok with “default DF algorithm”


 Preference value vs. preference value
[jorge] “preference value” is ok


c) We note "Highest-Preference and/or Lowest-Preference DF Algorithm(s)" (with 
"DF")
vs. "Highest-Preference and/or Lowest-Preference Algorithm(s)" (without "DF").

Per the "DF Alg" registry 
<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iana.org%2Fassignments%2Fbgp-extended-communities&data=05%7C02%7Cjorge.rabadan%40nokia.com%7Cf873d1f8c8b244f57fb208dd93ef323e%7C5d4717519675428d917b70f44f9630b0%7C0%7C0%7C638829377775995078%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=pvrP5ew%2FSf%2FPA4PGI4l0ngMiOGaXiPd2oo7w%2F1AMgTs%3D&reserved=0<https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-extended-communities>>,
these terms appear without "DF". Should "DF" be removed from these
terms in the document or should "DF" be added to the terms in this
document and in the registry for consistency?

Per the "DF Alg" registry:
   2   Highest-Preference Algorithm
   3   Lowest-Preference Algorithm

A few examples that vary in the text (see the document for more examples):

   The DP capability is supported by the Highest-Preference or
   Lowest-Preference DF Algorithms.

   The procedures of the "Don't Preempt" capability for the
   Highest-Preference and Lowest-Preference DF Algorithms are
   described in Section 4.1.

   The Highest-Preference and Lowest-Preference Algorithms MAY be used
   along with the AC-DF capability.

   The document also describes how a local policy can override the
   Highest-Preference or Lowest-Preference Algorithms for a range of
   Ethernet Tags in the Ethernet Segment.
[jorge] I agree with the suggestion of removing “DF” from those terms and be 
consistent with the DF Alg registry



d) We made the following changes for consistency (the document now uses the
form on the right). Please let us know if any further changes are needed.

  Acknowledgments -> Acknowledgements (for consistency with C492)
  all-active -> All-Active (for consistency with C492)
  Broadcast Domain -> broadcast domain (for consistency with C492)

  Designated Forwarder Election Extended Community and
    Designated Forwarder Election extended community ->
    DF Election Extended Community (per IANA, RFC 8584, and C492)

  Ethernet segment -> Ethernet Segment
  Highest-Preference algorithm -> Highest-Preference Algorithm (per IANA)
  Lowest-Preference algorithm -> Lowest-Preference Algorithm (per IANA)
  single-active -> Single-Active (for consistency with C492)
-->
[jorge] I agree with the suggestions



17) <!-- [rfced] Abbreviations

a) FYI - We have added expansions for the following abbreviations
per Section 3.6 of RFC 7322 ("RFC Style Guide"). Please review each
expansion in the document carefully to ensure correctness.

 - Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
 - VLAN ID (VID)
[jorge] I agree with the suggestion


b) For consistency (within the RFC series and C492), we
updated the document to use the forms on the right.

  *  rfc-edi...@rfc-editor.org (the RPC team)

  *  other document participants, depending on the stream (e.g.,
     IETF Stream participants are your working group chairs, the
     responsible ADs, and the document shepherd).

  *  auth48archive@rfc-editor.org, which is a new archival mailing list
     to preserve AUTH48 conversations; it is not an active discussion
     list:

    *  More info:

    *  The archive itself:
       https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/auth48archive/

    *  Note: If only absolutely necessary, you may temporarily opt out
       of the archiving of messages (e.g., to discuss a sensitive matter).
       If needed, please add a note at the top of the message that you
       have dropped the address. When the discussion is concluded,
       auth48archive@rfc-editor.org will be re-added to the CC list and
       its addition will be noted at the top of the message.

You may submit your changes in one of two ways:

An update to the provided XML file
— OR —
An explicit list of changes in this format

Section # (or indicate Global)

OLD:
old text

NEW:
new text

You do not need to reply with both an updated XML file and an explicit
list of changes, as either form is sufficient.

We will ask a stream manager to review and approve any changes that seem
beyond editorial in nature, e.g., addition of new text, deletion of text,
and technical changes.  Information about stream managers can be found in
the FAQ.  Editorial changes do not require approval from a stream manager.
