Hi Bruno,

Many thanks for the review comments. We have revised the draft addressing
your comments.

More inline.

Thanks,
Neeraj

[NM]: There was a leftover reference to this in one of the sections that
has been fixed now to use new EVPN EC. With this, reference to
[BGP-LINK-BW] is purely informational (as was intended).

[NM]: clarified in section 4.

[NM]: done.

[NM]: I don't have this information. Perhaps someone else could comment.

[bess] I-D Action: draft-ietf-bess-evpn-unequal-lb-10.txt

Title   : Weighted Multi-Path Procedures for EVPN All-Active 
Multi-Homing
Authors : Neeraj Malhotra

  John Drake
  Avinash Lingala
  Samir Thoria
Filename: draft-ietf-bess-evpn-unequal-lb-10.txt
Pages   : 18
Date: 2021-05-05

Abstract:
   In an EVPN-IRB based network overlay, EVPN all-active multi-homing
   enables multi-homing for a CE device connected to two or more PEs via
   a LAG, such that bridged and routed traffic from remote PEs can be
   equally load balanced (ECMPed) across the multi-homing PEs.  This
   document defines extensions to EVPN procedures to optimally handle
   unequal access bandwidth distribution across a set of multi-homing
   PEs in order to:

   o  provide greater flexibility, with respect to adding or removing
  individual PE-CE links within the access LAG.

   o  handle PE-CE LAG member link failures that can result in unequal
  PE-CE access bandwidth across a set of multi-homing PEs.
