Abstract:
Network Virtualization Overlay networks using Ethernet VPN (EVPN) as
control plane may use Ingress Replication or PIM (Protocol
Independent Multicast)-based trees to convey the overlay Broadcast,
Unknown unicast and Multicast (BUM) traffic. PIM provides an
efficient solution to avoid sending multiple copies of the same
packet over the same physical link, however it may not always be
deployed in the Network Virtualization Overlay core network. Ingress
Replication avoids the dependency on PIM in the Network
Virtualization Overlay network core. While Ingress Replication
provides a simple multicast transport, some Network Virtualization
Overlay networks with demanding multicast applications require a more
efficient solution without PIM in the core. This document describes
a solution to optimize the efficiency of Ingress Replication trees.
