Abstract:
   The Designated Forwarder (DF) in (PBB-)EVPN networks is the PE
   responsible for sending multicast, broadcast and unknown unicast
   traffic to a multi-homed CE, on a given Ethernet Tag on a particular
   Ethernet Segment (ES). The DF is selected based on the list of PEs
   that advertise the Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI) to the EVPN
   network. While PE node or link failures trigger the DF re-election
   for a given <ESI, EVI>, individual Attachment Circuit (AC) or MAC-VRF
   failures do not trigger such DF re-election and the traffic may
   therefore be permanently impacted, even though there is an
   alternative path. This document improves the DF election algorithm so
   that the AC status can influence the result of the election and this
   type of "logical" failures can be protected too.
