Hi Jorge,

The new I-flag is to enforce one-to-one mapping between an IP address and a MAC 
address, right? So, if this falg is set, then it is not applicable to Extended 
Mobility procedures (i.e., draft-ietf-bess-evpn-irb-extended-mobility-00). Can 
you reference this draft as informative reference and indicate this (for both 
different IPs to the same MAC as well as a single IP to different MACs).

Cheers,
Ali

    All,
    
    We did a minor update to this draft - we added a new flag (I) that is 
indicating that the IP->MAC binding in a MAC/IP route is immutable, i.e., the 
advertised IP can only be bound to the advertised MAC when programming it in 
the ARP/ND cache. 
    
    Please let us know if you have any comments. Otherwise we believe the 
document is ready for WG LC.
    
    Thank you.
    Jorge

        A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
        This draft is a work item of the BGP Enabled ServiceS WG of the IETF.
        
                Title           : Propagation of ARP/ND Flags in EVPN

        Abstract:
           An EVPN MAC/IP Advertisement route can optionally carry an IPv4 or
           IPv6 addresses associated with a MAC address. Remote PEs can use this
           information to reply locally (act as proxy) to IPv4 ARP requests and
           IPv6 Neighbor Solicitation messages and reduce/suppress the flooding
           produced by the Address Resolution procedure. The information
           conveyed in the MAC/IP route may not be enough for the remote PE to
           reply to local ARP or ND requests. For example, if a PE learns an
           IPv6->MAC ND entry via EVPN, the PE would not know if that particular
           IPv6->MAC pair belongs to a host, a router or a host with an anycast
           address, as this information is not carried in the MAC/IP route
           advertisements. Similarly, other information relevant to the IP->MAC
           ARP/ND entries may be needed. This document proposes an OPTIONAL
           extended community that is advertised along with an EVPN MAC/IP
           Advertisement route and carries information relevant to the ARP/ND
           resolution, so that an EVPN PE implementing a proxy-ARP/ND function
           can reply to ARP Requests or Neighbor Solicitations with the correct
           information.
