These procedures have been enhanced further by applying Highest Random Weight (HRW) algorithm for Designated Forwarder election in order to avoid unnecessary DF status changes upon a failure. This document improves these procedures by providing a fast Designated Forwarder election upon recovery of the failed link or node associated with the multihomed Ethernet Segment. This document updates Section 2.1 of {[}RFC8584{]} by optionally introducing delays between some of the events therein. The solution is independent of the number of EVPN Instances (EVIs) associated with that Ethernet Segment and it is performed via a simple signaling between the recovered node and each of the other nodes in the multihoming group.}, }
