Hi Wen,

I am thinking of adding  the following paragraph as a clarification for the 
originating router’s IP address.


“The Originating Router’s IP address does not need to be a routable address and 
its purpose is to identify the originator of that EVPN route uniquely. It can 
be either IPv4 or IPv6 address independent of the BGP next hop address type for 
that NLRI and it must remain the same for all EVPN routes advertised by that 
PE.”



Cheers,

Ali

Thank you for the updated draft.

I think we need to explicitly specify how we set the Originating Router’s IP 
address – when it will be to IPv6 or IPv4 address for both Ethernet Segment 
Route and Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag Route.  Today, there is no 
mentioning about it in the draft.
7.4. 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-09#section-7.4>
 Ethernet Segment 
Route<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-09#name-ethernet-segment-route>
            +---------------------------------------+
            |  RD (8 octets)                        |
            +---------------------------------------+
            |Ethernet Segment Identifier (10 octets)|
            +---------------------------------------+
            |  IP Address Length (1 octet)          |
            +---------------------------------------+
            |  Originating Router's IP Address      |
            |          (4 or 16 octets)             |
            +---------------------------------------+

We need to add definition or reference for the Originating Router’s IP Address.
7.3. 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-09#section-7.3>
 Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag 
Route<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-09#name-inclusive-multicast-etherne>

            +---------------------------------------+

            |  RD (8 octets)                        |

            +---------------------------------------+

            |  Ethernet Tag ID (4 octets)           |

            +---------------------------------------+

            |  IP Address Length (1 octet)          |

            +---------------------------------------+

            |  Originating Router's IP Address      |

            |          (4 or 16 octets)             |

            +---------------------------------------+



For IMET route, we have the following definition in section 11.1:

“The Originating Router's IP Address field value MUST be set to an IP address 
of the PE that should be common for all the EVIs on the PE (e.g., this address 
may be the PE's loopback address). The IP Address Length field is in bits.”



A router may have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses configured for the loopback.  We 
need to specify when IPv6 address will be used based on whether EVPN is used 
IPv4 or IPv6 underlay.
Thanks,
Wen

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-bess-rfc7432bis-09.txt is now available. It is a
work item of the BGP Enabled ServiceS (BESS) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN
   Authors: Ali Sajassi
            Luc Andre Burdet
            John Drake
            Jorge Rabadan

   Pages:   73
   Dates:   2024-05-02

Abstract:

   This document describes procedures for Ethernet VPN (EVPN), a BGP
   MPLS-based solution which addresses the requirements specified in the
   corresponding RFC - "Requirements for Ethernet VPN (EVPN)".  This
   document obsoletes RFC7432 (BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN) and updates
   RFC8214 (Virtual Private Wire Service Support in Ethernet VPN).
