Hi,

Well, everyone has to support the default DF Alg, based on RFC7432. So that one 
for sure. And in addition there are others that have been implemented. For 
instance, Pref DF election has been implemented by multiple vendors.
Thanks,
Jorge

Hi Jorge,

I didn't mean using different algorithms for electing the DF and BFD. I am just 
asking which algorithm is most widely implemented/used for electing the DF 
*and* BDF for EVPN VPWS single-active multihoming.

Regards,
Muthu

The implementations I know use the same DF Alg for DF election _and_ backup DF 
Election. And I don’t see why you would use something different?
In other words, if you use e.g., Pref based DF Alg, use it for DF and BDF 
elections. Only that the BDF election excludes the DF from the candidate list.

Thx
Jorge

While RFC 8214 doesn't recommend any DF election algorithm capable of electing 
the BDF in EVPN VPWS single-active multihoming for deciding the backup PE, any 
feedback on what is(are) the widely implemented/supported DF election  
algorithm(s) by vendors?

Muthu
