Hi Jorge, As I pointed out in my previous email, the use of flag is not a viable option because it requires update to every single PE for it to be effective. Before getting too much into a new solution with many restrictions, we should evaluate the current mechanisms and if they fall short,

Re: [bess] draft-mohanty-bess-evpn-bum-opt-00 - clarification on problem description

Eric, as discussed and you point out, one can easily interpret that IMET is not mandatory in some cases where multi-destination traffic is not needed. In any case, whether this document is Informational or Standards Track is probably not that important. If this had to be done, out of the
