Hello,
I have been selected as the Routing Directorate reviewer for this draft.
The Routing Directorate seeks to review all routing or routing-related
drafts as they pass through IETF last call and IESG review, and sometimes
on special request. The purpose of the review is to provide assistance to
the Routing ADs. For more information about the Routing Directorate,
please see http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir
Although these comments are primarily for the use of the Routing ADs, it
would be helpful if you could consider them along with any other IETF Last
Call comments that you receive, and strive to resolve them through
discussion or by updating the draft.
Document: draft-ietf-bess-evpn-vpws-10.txt
Reviewer: Acee Lindem
Review Date: 3/3/2017
IETF LC End Date: 3/10/2017
Intended Status: Standards Track
Summary:
I have some minor concerns about this document that I think should be
resolved before publication.
Comments:
The document is technically correct and comprehensive as evidenced by
successful implementation by multiple vendors. However, the document could
be much more readable with fewer run-on sentenses and some editorial
corrections. Editorial corrections are suggested in the nits.
Major Issues:
No major issues were found.
Minor Issues:
1. There are many compound sentences that don't need to be.
Please consider rewording these for readability. I have
made suggestions in below. Hopefully, you’ll agree with most
of these.
2. Consistent capitalization of acronyms, e.g., VLAN, P2P, and
VXLAN.
3. Consistent hyphenization, e.g., "cross-connect". Use "Per-ES" and
"Per-EVI" when describing AD routes.
4. On page 6, why is the P and B clear error treated differently
from the P and set error?
5. On Page 9, why isn't the last received B Flag set used as the
Backup PE similar to the behavior for the Primary PE?
6. On Page 9, it is truly unfortunate that the Inter-AS options
for EVPN weren't explicitly discussed in RFC 7432.
Nits:
Here are some suggested edits to improve the consistency and
readability of the document.

This document describes how EVPN can be used to support Virtual
Private Wire Service (VPWS) in MPLS/IP networks. The use of EVPN
! mechanisms for VPWS (EVPN-VPWS) brings the benefits of EVPN to p2p
services. These benefits include single-active redundancy as well as
all-active redundancy with flow-based load-balancing. Furthermore,
! the use of EVPN for VPWS eliminates the need for traditional way of
! PW signaling for p2p Ethernet services, as described in section 4.
! [RFC7432] has the ability to forward customer traffic to/from a given
customer Attachment Circuit (AC), without any MAC lookup. This
! capability is ideal in providing p2p services (aka VPWS services).
! [MEF] defines Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) service as p2p
! service between a pair of ACs (designated by VLANs) and Ethernet
Private Line (EPL) service, in which all traffic flows are between a
single pair of ports, that in EVPN terminology would mean a single
pair of Ethernet Segments ES(es). EVPL can be considered as a VPWS
with only two ACs. In delivering an EVPL service, the traffic
! forwarding capability of EVPN based on the exchange of a pair of
! Ethernet Auto-discovery (A-D) routes is used; whereas, for more
general VPWS as per [RFC4664], traffic forwarding capability of EVPN
! based on the exchange of a group of Ethernet AD routes (one Ethernet
! AD route per AC/ES) is used. In a VPWS service, the traffic from an
originating Ethernet Segment can be forwarded only to a single
destination Ethernet Segment; hence, no MAC lookup is needed and the
MPLS label associated with the per EVPN instance (EVI) Ethernet A-D
route can be used in forwarding user traffic to the destination AC.
For both EPL and EVPL services, a specific VPWS service instance is
! identified by a pair of per EVI Ethernet A-D routes which together
identify the VPWS service instance endpoints and the VPWS service
instance. In the control plane the VPWS service instance is
identified using the VPWS service instance identifiers advertised by
! each PE and in the data plane the value of the MPLS label advertised
by one PE is used by the other PE to send traffic for that VPWS
service instance. As with the Ethernet Tag in standard EVPN, the VPWS
service instance identifier has uniqueness within an EVPN instance.
! Unlike EVPN where Ethernet Tag ID in EVPN routes are set to zero for
! Port-based, vlan-based, and vlan-bundle interface mode and it is set
! to non-zero Ethernet tag ID for vlan-aware bundle mode, in EVPN-VPWS,
! for all the four interface modes, Ethernet tag ID in the Ethernet A-D
! route MUST be set to a non-zero value in all the service interface
types.
