Thomas, Martin, all,

We would like to bring this draft’s new version to everyone’s attention.
The rev 04 was already in the queue for WG adoption calls, however we now believe this version is in (even) better shape for WG adoption, with the addition of a new co-author and her contribution. The draft covers now the vlan-aware bundle service interface scenario.

We appreciate any feedback.
Thank you.
Jorge

    Abstract:
       The Designated Forwarder (DF) in EVPN networks is the PE responsible
       for sending multicast, broadcast and unknown unicast traffic to a
       multi-homed CE, on a given Ethernet Tag on a particular Ethernet
       Segment (ES). The DF is selected based on the list of PEs that
       advertise the Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI) to the EVPN network.
       While PE node or link failures trigger the DF re-election for a given
       <ESI, EVI>, individual Attachment Circuit (AC) or MAC-VRF failures do
       not trigger such DF re-election and the traffic may therefore be
       permanently impacted, even though there is an alternative path. This
       document improves the DF election algorithm so that the AC status can
       influence the result of the election and this type of "logical"
       failures can be protected too.

    Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
    until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
