Y'all: I know this is in auth-48 (or maybe past), but I've been through these docs a number of times, and still come up with questions that I think need to be addressed/answered at some point. In general, eVPN seems to be on the receiving end of "I can imagine a lot of different use cases, some of which are self-contradictory, but let's just throw it all in the bucket anyway, :::::::::::; == 8.5 In step 3 of DF election, the list of IP addresses is ordered in "increasing numeric value." What if you have a mix of v4 and v6 addresses? [Satya] One possible solution may be to do a lexicographic comparison of keys (the iP address strings in this case considered as sequence of bytes). For unequal-length keys like in the case of v4 and v6, assume that a unique 'padding' alphabet is present after the v4 address that always has priority over other alphabets (byte values). This will make the comparison non-ambiguous, and still the same algorithm suffices. == :-) Russ _______________________________________________ BESS mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/bess Thanks, --Satya
