Hi, Does anyone disagree with the additional Jakob's statement proposal ? " The lower order 4 bits SHOULD be sent as 0 and ignored on receipt."
As an example, in MVPN for PMSI tunnel attribute, we have the following statement which does not tell anything about the lower order bits: " If the MPLS Label field is non-zero, then it contains an MPLS label encoded as 3 octets, where the high-order 20 bits contain the label value. Absence of an MPLS Label is indicated by setting the MPLS Label field to zero."

Yes, just the encoding of label value needs to be clear.

It is good to make this explicit. This ambiguity has led to some unnecessary interworking problems. Should we also need to explicitly define the "bottom of stack" bit in the low-order bit of the 3-octet label field?

Section 7.2: Add below text to the section 7.2 regarding the encoding of both the MPLS label fields: "The value of the 20-bit MPLS label is encoded in the high-order 20 bits of the 3 bytes MPLS Label field for both MPLS Label1 and MPLS Label2." Section 7.5: Add below text to the section 7.5 regarding the encoding of ESI Label fields: "The value of the 20-bit MPLS label is encoded in the high-order 20 bits of the ESI Label field." Notes ----- MPLS label is a 20-bit value and is stored in a 3 bytes field in a packet. The 20-bit MPLS label value is generally stored in higher order 20 bits of the 3 byte label field. The exact encoding to be followed for storing MPLS label values are not explicitly mentioned in the RFC 7432 under section 7.1, 7.2 and 7.5 for different types of EVPN routes. This lead to ambiguity in different implementations. Hence a clarification is required. Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC7432 (draft-ietf-l2vpn-evpn-11) -------------------------------------- Title : BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN Publication Date : February 2015 Author(s) : A.
