Hi Krystof,

Already tracking issue #1 for update, thanks for picking it up though

Issue #2 we’ve discussed before but the entropy here is meant to provide some 
delta “between ES” for DF... RFC7432 modulo doesn’t go into complicated HRW and 
this should not either...

  *   The specific set of bytes chosen are supposed to vary some but don’t have 
to vary tremendously. VLAN-ID/EVI in 7432 doesn’t very tremendously either.
  *   The byte(s) definitely vary more than byte 10 in previous versions which, 
for some ESI types, is 00...
Why use 10 bytes for an even/odd decision on 2PE when basically... one is 
enough? I don’t see the need to bring in HRW’s complexity to simply match 
RFC7432 DF-modulo.
FYI we have added a section specifically addressing HRW df-mode.

Subject: Re: [bess] WG Adoption and IPR Poll for 
draft-brissette-bess-evpn-mh-pa-04

Hello,


I have two comments regarding section 4.2


Comment 1:

draft-brissette-bess-evpn-mh-pa-04: “ES-Import RT community inherits from ESI 
only byte 1-7,”

As per RFC 7432, ES-Import RT community inherits from ESI only 6 (not 7, as in 
draft-brissette-bess-evpn-mh-pa-04) octets from ESI




Comment 2:


What is the benefit of restricting Modulo calculation to 5 octets only 
(draft-brissette-bess-evpn-mh-pa-04 specifies here octets 3-7), instead of 
taking all 9 (or even all 10) octets into account. For example, for HRW, RFC 
8584 already describes computing a 32 bit CRC over the concatenation of 
Ethernet Tag and ESI, so *all 10* ESI octets are used for better entropy. What 
is the benefit of restricting here for only subset of ESI octets?



Thanks,
Krzysztof

undisclosed IPR, copying the BESS mailing list. The document won't progress 
without answers from all the authors and contributors.

Currently, there are no IPR disclosures against this document.

If you are not listed as an author or a contributor, then please explicitly 
respond only if you are aware of any IPR that has not yet been disclosed in 
conformance with IETF rules.
