A few, non blocking, comments: Assigning a single unicast MAC address seems slightly odd in that it isn't globally unique, but I can't think of any good alternative. At the same time, a service layer BFD session may be used between the tenants of VTEPs IP1 and IP2 to provide end-to-end fault management (this use case is outside the scope of this document). In such a case, for VTEPs BFD Control packets of that session are indistinguishable from data packets. "for VTEPs BFD Control" => "for VTEPS, the BFD Control" Ethernet Header: Destination MAC: A Management VNI, which does not have any tenants, will have no dedicated MAC address for decapsulated traffic. The value (TBD1) SHOULD be used in this field. Source MAC: MAC address associated with the originating VTEP. Should the TypeOrLen field in the Ethernet header also be specified (presumably set to IPv4 or IPv6)? Regards, Rob
