The DF is the Provider Edge (PE) router responsible for sending broadcast, unknown unicast and multicast (BUM) traffic to multi-homed Customer Equipment (CE) on a particular Ethernet Segment (ES) within a VLAN. In addition, the capability to influence the DF election result for a VLAN based on the state of the associated Attachment Circuit (AC) is specified. This document clarifies the DF Election Finite State Machine in EVPN, therefore it updates the EVPN specification.}, }
