An Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) provides a unified control
plane that solves the issues of Network Virtualization Edge (NVE)
auto-discovery, tenant Media Access Control (MAC) / IP dissemination,
and advanced features in a scablable way as required by Network
Virtualization over Layer 3 (NVO3) networks. EVPN is a scalable
solution for NVO3 networks and keeps the independence of the underlay
IP Fabric, i.e., there is no need to enable Protocol Independent
Multicast (PIM) in the underlay network and maintain multicast states
for tenant Broadcast Domains. This document describes the use of EVPN
for NVO3 networks and discusses its applicability to basic Layer 2
and Layer 3 connectivity requirements and to advanced features such
as MAC Mobility, MAC Protection and Loop Protection, multihoming,
Data Center Interconnect (DCI), and much more. No new EVPN procedures
are introduced.
This document is a product of the Network Virtualization Overlays Working Group
of the IETF.
