Hi EVPN guru,

It looks like RFC 7432 section 8.2.1 (Constructing Ethernet A-D per Ethernet 
Segment Route) has an error:
"The Ethernet A-D route is not needed when the Segment Identifier is set to 0 
(e.g., single-homed scenarios)."

Because without "per ES route" it would not be possible to signal "mass 
withdrawal" If CE-PE connection would fail
That plainly promised for single-homed CEs in section 8.2:
" If no other PE had advertised an Ethernet A-D route for the same segment, 
then the PE that received the withdrawal simply invalidates the MAC entries for 
that segment."
Or implied in section 17.3:
"The Ethernet A-D per ES routes should be used by an implementation to optimize 
the withdrawal of MAC/IP Advertisement routes."

Have I missed something?

Eduard
