Hi,
I have a question about Section 18 "Frame Ordering" of the draft.

It says that the control word "MUST be used with the value 0 (e.g., a 4-octet 
field with a value of zero) when sending unicast EVPN-encapsulated packets over 
an MP2P LSP".

I wonder whether "unicast" in this text includes unknown unicast if it is 
flooded via MP2P LSPs.

Broadcast and multicast traffic which is flooded together with unknown unicast 
traffic does not really need inclusion of the CW because the first octet of 
these frames is always odd.

I would also like to understand whether negotiation of the CW usage (as 
described in Section 7.11.2of the draft refers just to known unicast or also to 
BUM traffic.

Regards and lots if thanks in advance,
Sasha
