Original Text
-------------
   Where:

   o  DF(V) is defined to be the address Si (index i) for which
      Weight(V, Es, Si) is the highest; 0 <= i < N-1.

   o  BDF(V) is defined as that PE with address Sk for which the
      computed Weight is the next highest after the Weight of the DF.
      j is the running index from 0 to N-1; i and k are selected values.

Notes
-----
An observation was made while reviewing EVPN Port-Active draft pointing to a 
possible algorithm errata in RFC8584 ;

Basically, when evaluating the DF for HRW, 
>      * DF(Es) is defined to be the address Si (index i) for which
>        Weight(Es, Si) is the highest; 0 <= i < N-1.

Here,

if N=1, no remotes:  0 <= i < 0    -- ERROR

if N=2, 1 peer:  0 <= i < 1  -> possible values are only 0 meaning index 1 (the 
peer)’s weight is not considered.
Logically, this should be 0 <= i <= N-1    or    0 <= i < N
