If you are talking about different VLAN IDs (VIDs) on the same physical 
interface of an ES is getting mapped to a BD, and the <ES, BD> is advertised 
via Eth AD per EVI route with Eth-tag of zero, then this is VLAN-bundle service 
interface. In VLAN bundle, it is assumed that the MAC addresses across 
different VIDs are unique and thus they all can be placed in a single BD!

Subject: Questions on VLAN-based/VLAN-bundle Service Interface of rfc7432bis



Hi All,



I have encountered a use case that I don't know if it's VLAN-based service 
interface or VLAN-bundle service interface.

When two individual subinterfaces on the same ES are attached to the same BD 
which is the only one BD (whose Ethernet Tag ID is zero) of its EVI, which 
Service Interface should the EVI be called? VLAN-based service interface or 
VLAN-bundle service interface or none of those three service itnerfaces?

I noticed that there is just a single A-D per EVI route for that <ES, BD>, thus 
these two ACs have to share the same A-D per EVI route in such case. So if one 
of them fails but the other is OK, should that A-D per EVI route be withdrawn 
or not?

When these two interfaces are merged into a single subinterface, I know there 
is no doubt that this is VLAN-bundle service interface. But here each VLAN has 
its individual interface.

Whether this use case is supported by rfc7432bis? If it is supported, should it 
be called VLAN-based service interface or VLAN-bundle service interface?



Thanks,

Yubao
