Integrated Routing and Bridging in EVPN
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-inter-subnet-forwarding-13
Abstract
Ethernet VPN (EVPN) provides an extensible and flexible multi-homing
VPN solution over an MPLS/IP network for intra-subnet connectivity
among Tenant Systems and End Devices that can be physical or virtual.
However, there are scenarios for which there is a need for a dynamic
and efficient inter-subnet connectivity among these Tenant Systems
and End Devices while maintaining the multi-homing capabilities of
EVPN. This document describes an Integrated Routing and Bridging
(IRB) solution based on EVPN to address such requirements.
Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC
2119 [RFC2119] and RFC 8174 [RFC8174] when, and only when, they
appear in all capitals, as shown here.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute
