Got the answer from the RFC itself. The behavior should be same as IMET. Regards, Vinayak

For VxLAN encap on the data plane, what should the Originator Router field in SMET route (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9251#section-9.1) be set-to? * Is it VTEP IP? That IP is already available in the next-hop field (RFC 9251 does not talk about not sending next-hop and using the Originator Router field instead to advertise the VTEP). 2. A follow up question - say BGP EVPN speaker X receives SMET over eBGP EVPN and has to relay the route (not on an eBGP Route Server) to a peer Y - * Should X change the Originator Router field to its own IP (similar to next-hop set to self in eBGP)? Thanks in Advance, Vinayak
