Hi authors and contributors of draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis.
I have started reading the draft in hope to find a section that describes the
differences between the original RFC 7432 and the "bis" draft for this RFC.
AFAIK, such sections are quite customary when a "bis" revision of an already
approved and published RFC is proposed.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no such section in the draft, and looking for
the differences in a 64-page document is quite non-trivial.
This may be one of the reasons why no comments have appeared at the BESS WG
mailing list in 5 months following the draft posting.
May I suggest that you add such a section (or Appendix) to the next revision of
the draft?
Looking just at the tables of contents of RFC 7432 and of the draft I see that
the following new sections have been added (could have missed some items)
7.9<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-00#section-7.9>.
EVPN Layer 2 Attributes Extended Community
7.9.1<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-00#section-7.9.1>.
EVPN Layer 2 Attributes Partitioning
7.12<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-00#section-7.12>.
Route Prioritization
10.1.1<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-00#section-10.1.1>.
Best Path selection for Default Gateway
15.2<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-00#section-15.2>.
Sticky MAC Addresses
18.1<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-00#section-18.1>.
Flow Label
19<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-00#section-19>.
Use of Domain-wide Common Block (DCB) Labels
There are also some changes in the text of the sections that have existed in
RFC 743. E.g., I see reference to BIER in the draft that do not exist in RFC
7432.
Tracking such changes would be quite difficult without the authors' help in the
form of a "Summary of changes from RFC 7432" section/Appendix.
Such a section, if added, would be also included in the resulting RFC.
Hopefully this comment will be useful.

Sasha

Hi,
The update to RFC7432 is an important draft for the WG - could you please
review offline and provide feedback?
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis<https://clicktime.symantec.com/3Hss71ZoqyYVo1fFGH3PvdW6H2?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdatatracker.ietf.org%2Fdoc%2Fhtml%2Fdraft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis>
