Hi Muthu, As you mentioned it is straightforward to calculate the BDF in the default DF Algorithm by taking the current DF out of reckoning. It is my personal view that since this is self-evident it need not be explicitly stated. But I will let others decide.

Am I missing something? I think my question still holds: Though it is straightforward to calculate the BDF by eliminating the DF from the candidate list, would an implementation calculating the BDF that way for the default DF election algo interoperate without any problem? Would it be better to update draft-ietf-bess-evpn-df-election-framework on how the BDF is to be calculated in general for any DF election algo (including the default DF election algo)? [Satya] IMHO opinion, much as it appears obvious, we cannot say for certain that in every future DF algorithm (that may come into existence), the BDF computation will always be as simple as taking the current DF (PE) out of reckoning and doing the recomputation.

Need another clarification. RFC 7432 does not describe how to calculate the BDF for the default DF algo. Though it is straightforward to calculate the BDF by eliminating the DF from the candidate list, would an implementation calculating the BDF that way for the default DF algo interoperate without any problem?

So that one for sure. And in addition there are others that have been implemented. For instance, Pref DF election has been implemented by multiple vendors.

I am just asking which algorithm is most widely implemented/used for electing the DF *and* BDF for EVPN VPWS single-active multihoming.

And I don’t see why you would use something different? In other words, if you use e.g., Pref based DF Alg, use it for DF and BDF elections. Only that the BDF election excludes the DF from the candidate list.
