Hi all,

as just noted on mic in BESS, I believe the EVPN First Hop Security
draft is pretty much redundant with doing Active Leasequery (RFCs 7653
and 7724).  Additionally, Leasequery is superior to synchronizing state
acquired from snooping since the DHCP servers can actively push changes
and ensure consistency, e.g. when the PE reboots.  (Used together with
Bulk Leasequery.)

Further clarified on mic / referring to Figure 2 in the draft, in a
multihomed scenario all PEs perform leasequery and acquire the same DHCP
state, i.e. PE2 and PE3 both have the same information even if only one
of them carries the DHCP exchange.

Did I miss something that is needed for EVPN that DHCP Active Leasequery
cannot provide?

Cheers,


equi
