Therefore, I think it is better to have a flag indicating if the VNs are listed individually, Upper/Lower ranges, or bit mapped. I wouldn't use a flag for that, it's probably cleaner to define another TLV type that gives a list of VNIDs. Either the list or bit-map can be used

When a NVE is initialized or re-started, it uses Virtual Network scoped instances of the IS-IS to announce all the Virtual Networks in which it is participating. The current draft-dunbar-nvo3-nva-mapping-distribution-01 suggests using the bit map to represent the supported VNs.

Tom, Comments inserted below: -Original Message- First a couple of meta comments on the draft: - Sizes of type and lengths in TLVs are inconsistent (some 16 bits, some 32 bits). It might be just as well to make all of them 16 bits. [Linda] will correct it. - For the above, I
