Section Section 5 says:
The UMR is characterized as follows: o EVPN Route Type is equal to MAC/IP Advertisement Route o MAC address length is equal to 0 o IP address length is equal to 0
It should say:
In Section 5: The UMR is characterized as follows: o EVPN Route Type is equal to MAC/IP Advertisement Route o MAC address length is equal to 48 o IP address length is equal to 0
Notes:
The original text provides conflicting definitions of the MAC Address Length in the Unknown MAC Route (UMR).
Since the UMR is a MAC/IP Advertisement Route defined in RFC 7432, and since this RFC states that the MAC Address Length in these routes is 48, the text in Section 5 should be corrected to match RFC 7432 as well as the text in Section 1 of this RFC (where MAC Address Length in the UMR is correctly defined as 48).
