Hi Gian,

Section 9.2.2 cannot be applied, it says that explicitly:

   Usage of leaf A-D routes is described in the "*Inter-AS* Inclusive
   P-Multicast Tree A-D/Binding" and "Optimizing Multicast Distribution
   via Selective Trees" sections.


The section in question is named "*Intra-AS* Inclusive P-Multicast Tree
Auto-discovery/Binding", not *Inter*. Please, pay attention to it.

At the same time, Sections 4 and 4.1 describe which routes they exactly
expect:

   VPLS auto-discovery using BGP, as described in [RFC4761
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4761>] and
   [RFC6074 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6074>], enables a PE to
learn the VPLS instance membership of
   other PEs.


And:

   To participate in the VPLS auto-discovery/binding, a PE router that
   has a given VSI of a given VPLS instance originates a BGP VPLS Intra-
   AS A-D route and advertises this route in Multiprotocol (MP) IBGP.
   The route is constructed as described in [RFC4761
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4761>] and [RFC6074
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6074>].


These must be VPLS A-D routes, not Leaf routes, and they don't have an
Originating Router IP field.

   ... then the local PE MUST use the
   Originating Router's IP Address information carried in the *Intra-AS
   A-D route* to add the PE, that originated the route, as a leaf node to
   the LSP.  This MUST be done irrespective of whether or not the
   received Intra-AS A-D route carries the PMSI Tunnel attribute.


In my understanding, a "leaf" above is specifically *for the RSVP-TE* *case
*when a sending PE can't expect any actual leaf routes from others because
of the nature of *inclusive *tree construction and it still needs to signal
tunnels toward them (thus, needs to know their addresses).

So, I still think the errata is correct.

P.S. I don't like the idea of using the BGP NH as an identifier of a
sender. I think the IETF should provide better tools for that case (as well
as for the case of the identification of a service instance from a sender).
But this is out-of-scope and cannot be applied right here for the problem
in question, so BGP NH is the only option.
