John, Jeff:

During the presentation of draft-ietf-bess-evpn-unequal-lb -03 at the BESS WG meeting, you had a question/concern regarding why we are defining a new EC if we are doing conditional transitive. First, I’d like to make a correction to the preso by saying that the transitivity is not conditional and we will correct this in the next rev of the draft. So, the EC is simply transitive at all time. Given the EC defined in draft-ietf-idr-link-bandwidth-07.txt is non-transitive, we cannot use this EC for our application. That’s why we are defining a new one.

Cheers,
Ali
