Hi,
I have a question regarding Section 4.1 of the Virtual Ethernet Segment
draft<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-evpn-virtual-eth-segment-07#section-4.1>.
This section describes the default DF election procedure defined in RFC 7432
for virtual Ethernet Segments and says in item 3 (the problematic text is
highlighted):
Assuming a redundancy group of N PE nodes, the PE with ordinal i is the DF for
an EVPN instance with an associated Ethernet Tag value of V when (V mod N) = i
My question is, what does the associated Ethernet Tag mean in this context?
Specifically, if the EVI that is attached to the Virtual Ethernet Segment in
question implements VLAN-based or VLAN Bundle service interface, is associated
Ethernet Tag value always zero (as it appears in all EVPN routes advertised by
such an EVI)? If so, then all EVI implementing these types of service
interfaces and attached to different S-VLAN-delimited Virtual Ethernet Segments
on the same E-NNI port would elect the PE with the minimal Router Address as
the DF. In any case, explicit clarification in the text would be most useful.
Your timely feedback will be highly appreciated.
Regards, and lots of thanks in advance,
Sasha
