Major Concerns:

(2)  Also, in Section 5.2, Step 1, I think the intended sort order depends 
on all
of the LAALP IDi values being represented with the same number of bits.
Since Section 9.1 provides a variable length field to carry a LAALP ID 
value, I
assume that they are not always the same length.  Is a step needed to
encode the LAALP ID to a consistent length?

[MZ] The sort is done in the per-LAALP base. It's not necessary to make the 
LAALP ID to a constant length. Besides, the 'mod' function always returns a 
value in [0, k-1] whatever the length of LAALP ID is.

We could add "considering System ID and LAALP ID as byte strings".

(2)  I found the last sentence of Section 2 confusing.  I am suggesting a
rewording to see if I figured it out.  If I did not figure it out properly, 
then the
sentence really does need to be reworked.

   Under the assumption that the default learning is enabled at
   edge RBridges, MAC flip-flopping can be solved by using a
   Virtual RBridge together with its pseudo-nickname.  This
   document specifies a way to do so.

[MZ] Yes, this is clear. Will be incorporated.

Suggest: "Assuming that the default data-plane learning is enabled at
edge RBridges, MAC flip-flopping can be solved by using a Virtual
RBridge together with its psuedo-nickname. This document specifies a
way to do so."
