Neeraj:

Your text in -24 does not address the correct RFC 7606 work..  Please see 
section 7.14

7.14<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7606.html#section-7.14>.  Extended 
Community

   The error handling of [RFC4360<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4360>] is 
revised as follows:

   o  The Extended Community attribute SHALL be considered malformed if
      its length is not a non-zero multiple of 8.

   o  An UPDATE message with a malformed Extended Community attribute
      SHALL be handled using the approach of "treat-as-withdraw".

   Note that a BGP speaker MUST NOT treat an unrecognized Extended
   Community Type or Sub-Type as an error.

Section 2.:
  o  Treat-as-withdraw: In this approach, the UPDATE message containing
      the path attribute in question MUST be treated as though all
      contained routes had been withdrawn just as if they had been
      listed in the WITHDRAWN ROUTES field (or in the MP_UNREACH_NLRI
      attribute if appropriate) of the UPDATE message, thus causing them
      to be removed from the Adj-RIB-In according to the procedures of
      [RFC4271<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4271>].

   o  Attribute discard: In this approach, the malformed attribute MUST
      be discarded and the UPDATE message continues to be processed.
      This approach MUST NOT be used except in the case of an attribute
      that has no effect on route selection or installation.

However, your text (draft-ietf-bess-evpn-unequal-lb-24.txt)
   *  Malformed Extended Community: If a PE detects a malformed EVPN
      Link Bandwidth Extended Community, for example because the "Value-
      Units" has a value other than 0x00 or 0x01, it MUST discard the
      extended community as specified in [RFC7606] and handle the BGP
      route as it would if it was received without this extended
      community.

==============
To follow the malformed text, you must discard the UPDATE.
Instead, you are treating this as a attribute discard.

Can you revise -24 to use the “treat-as-withdraw”?

If you really want “attribute-discard”, you must
provide justification why are you are breaking [RFC7606]
guidelines.

Please let me know if this guidance is clear.

Cheerily, Sue Hares

Hi Susan, Thanks for the reminder. Changes to reference RFC7606 were sitting in 
my local as the tool was locked at the time. Could you please check rev24?

Greetings:

As I mentioned in the BESS meeting chat at IETF-121,  the authors have adjusted 
the Error Handling section from -22 to -23.  However, this section should 
reference the RFC7606 language.

If the authors want specific text, please let me know.

Cheers, Sue
