Hi Jorge,

Section 2.1.1. Current DF election procedure and AC failures

If AC2 is accidentally shutdown or even not configured, CE12
traffic will be impacted. In case of all-active multi-homing, only
the BUM traffic to CE12 will be impacted, whereas for single-active
multi-homing all the traffic to/from CE12 will be discarded. This is
due to the fact that a logical failure in PE-2 AC2 will not trigger
an ES route withdrawn for ESI12 (since there are still other ACs
active on ESI12) and therefore PE-1 will not re-run the DF election
procedures.

In Single Active a sub interface goes down, it will send a type 4 withdrawal 
and other PE will become DF based. This is taken care in SA but AA it makes 
sense.

How about the 3 second timer, there will be a loop if there is transition of 
PE's moving to DF to NON DF when a new PE as added or a link failure. During 
this time, may I know how the traffic is handled because RFC is not clear about 
that period. How you are going to tackle that issue.During this transition 
period if both PE starts forwarding the traffic there will be a loop, how to 
address that.

If you are using AC per Vlan but customers require vlan bundle, some times 
local switching how to handle those situations. Kindly clarify.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Regards,
Sudhin

Respected Authors,



I had gone through the draft at high level,I am happy to see a real provider 
provisioning issues addressed in your draft. Much appreciated.



Some key highlights in your draft.



1. No changes.

2. Using existing features to address a problem.

3. Addresses provisioning issues.






[JORGE] not only provisioning issues but also ‘logical’ failures like an 
"Attachment Circuit” going oper-down due to OAM or admin shutdown.










How ever I have following queries.



May I know how to deal with vlan provisioning issues like one PE will have vlan 
2,3,4 and other PE will have 3,4 this will end up in both PE's as DF correct me 
if I am wrong, you use type 1 Ad per ES and EVI for DF election, how about vlan 
issues.






[JORGE] the draft talks about how to influence the DF election based on the 
status of an “Attachment Circuit (AC)”. For VLAN-based services, a customer VID 
equals an AC (and there is a single VLAN per EVI per ES), hence in this case 
you can actually catch
 VLAN provisioning mistakes, i.e. if you don’t provision VLAN 2 in PE1, PE1 
won’t ever send the AD per EVI route for that VLAN, hence PE1 won’t be elected 
the DF within the ES in any PE using the AD per-EVI route in the DF election.










May I know how to handle transient loop during 3 seconds period during DF 
election.May I know the state of PE during the DF election, clarity 
required[humble opinion].






[JORGE] the draft is not changing the DF election itself (where, by the way, 
there is no transient loops). It is only removing PEs from the candidate DF 
list for a given EVI based on the presence of the AD per-EVI route. All the 
rest of the RFC7432 procedures
 are kept intact.












This seems to be a good customer focused solution. I appreciate it.[please 
note: this is my humble opinion as an individual not representing any one]



Regards,

Sudhin Jacob
