Hi authors, I have a few general comments
1. The introduction (section 2) is confusing. You start by saying that RFC7432 addresses the duplication issue (which is mostly right), but then start to describe “an unending cycle”.. And just to be clear: RFC7432 does not prescribe an automatic recovery action, it’s always a choice (also relevant to p.3 below) 2. I’m not entirely sure why did you add section 2.2 with a broadcast loop via backdoor link to this draft? Anyhow this problem was addressed in draft-snr-bess-evpn-loop-protect (there are a few implementations), and became a part of the updated -7432bis draft. 3. The problem statement (section 4) is very vague and hardly justifies the existence of this draft: > It is observed that plethora of implementations defreeze the MAC in > deterministic > time after freezing it with a positive assumption that admin shall > take corrective action meanwhile. Else, the subsequent unfreeze > shall end up in the same cycle of MAC Duplication detection and > freezing the MAC. It is an implementation detail, and nothing prevents you from doing it in a configurable (or any other way) you want. “Plethora” might be a bad choice of wording: I know at least 3 different implementations from major vendors that provide the flexibility by giving a choice to a user whether auto-retry should be enabled, with configurable delay parameters etc. If you just want to expand on these options and document them, that might be fine (although you may want to choose informational vs standard track?), but this need to be more explicitly stated. -- Sergey -----Original Message----- From: BESS <bess-boun...@ietf.org> On Behalf Of Dikshit, Saumya Sent: Friday, September 3, 2021 5:35 AM To: bess@ietf.org; bess-cha...@ietf.org Subject: [bess] FW: New Version Notification for draft-saum-bess-dampening-backoff-00.txt Hello Bess WG members, Requesting you to please provide your review comments on the draft <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-saum-bess-dampening-backoff-00.txt> https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-saum-bess-dampening-backoff-00.txt.

There are few optimizations which can be done in existing way of handling the mac duplication. This document describes few of the potential techniques to do so.
