Robert, John:

First, I don’t see an issue with sending endpoint sub-TLV along with a route 
from underlay space. Second, [Tunnel-Encap] provides recursive resolution and 
coloring so that we don’t need to send the Tunnel Attribute with every VPN 
routes. Third, secure-evpn talks about route hierarchy for finer level of 
granularity of tunnel setup.

Robert, wrt section 3.1, I think this special case is in context of section 4.1.

Cheers,
Ali

[JD] You could issue an UPDATE for the tunnel endpoint itself which contained 
the tunnel encapsulation attribute sans an endpoint sub-TLV.

What next would this UPDATE contain ?

See there seems to be already a provision for what I think you are trying to do 
by this special case from section 3.1:


   There is one special case: the Remote Endpoint sub-TLV MAY have a

   value field whose Address Family subfield contains 0.  This means

   that the tunnel's remote endpoint is the UPDATE's BGP next hop.  If

   the Address Family subfield contains 0, the Address subfield is

   omitted, and the Autonomous System number field is set to 0.

Any routes that use that tunnel endpoint would also include the tunnel 
encapsulation attribute that contains only the endpoint sub-TLV.

Well one could argue that if you properly mark next hop with proper tunnel 
encapsulation selection and tunnel endpoint address you would not need to 
attach any tunnel attribute at all as simple BGP recursion will inherit the 
properties of next hop carried prefixes are pointing to.

Thx.
R.
