Hi, It refers to the fact that the MAC is flushed from the bridge-table and therefore it is no longer duplicate. The router needs to clear the duplicate state and obviously, if the mac keeps moving, the router starts counting the moves again withing the duplication window.
The key point is that “the PE flushes M”. With that in mind, I don’t think there is any ambiguity, but let us know. Thanks.

There is a statement regarding the “process” to be restarted after retry-timer expires. Which “process” is being referred to here ? Is it just ONLY the “loop-protection” Or the “complete process” of “MAC Duplication Handling + Loop-protection”: implying both sections https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-04.txt#section-15.1 and https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-04.txt#section-15.3 in that order. The reference text is as follows: “ When the retry-timer R for M expires, the PE flushes M from the Bridge Table and the process is restarted.” Regards, Saumya.
