[MPLS] One question about MAC Address Withdraw Message in RFC4762



Hi all,
 

I have one question about MAC Address Withdraw Message in RFC4762

 

RFC4762 say

We introduce an optional MAC List TLV in LDP to specify a list of MAC  addresses that can be removed or unlearned using the LDP Address Withdraw Message.

 

And also say

The MAC Address Withdraw Message contains a FEC TLV (to identify the VPLS affected), a MAC Address TLV, and optional parameters.  No optional parameters have been defined for the MAC Address Withdraw signaling.

 

This two segment is  contradiction.

The first  segment say that the MAC Address TLV is optional parameters. But the second segment impliedly say that the FEC TLV and the MAC Address TLV must be included .

 

Since the MAC Address Withdraw Message and Address Withdraw Message used the same message type (0x0301).

So my question is how to process the message which message type is 0x0301 and  which TLV is mandatory when we parse this message .

 

Further question is,

If Address list TLV is mandatory .Then how to fill the Address list TLV for L2VPN, since the ip address is not usefule for L2VPN.

If Address list TLV is not mandatory .Then how to fill MAC Address Withdraw Message and Address Withdraw Message  when this remote peer session is used not only for L2VPN but also for other application (for example TE).

 

 

Thanks and Regards

Vivienne
