Hello,?

I am writing regarding a proposal to change API messages related to l2fib mac 
address.


In vpp/src/vnet/l2/l2.api file, currently two API messages related to l2fib 
uses u64 for mac address instead of u8 mac[6]. While rest of VPP API calls use 
array of six bytes to store mac address.


As u64 to store mac address is inconsistent with rest of VPP and may create 
conversion troubles to interpret to/from u8 mac[6].


The proposal is to change those API messages definitions to use standard u8 
mac[6] to store mac address. But this change may impact the users of VPP API 
and they will need to update their code.


?That said, Please let the community know if there is any specific objection or 
opinion to above proposal.


Thanks,

Mohsin
