Extended Mobility Procedures for EVPN-IRB
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-irb-extended-mobility-04
Abstract
Procedure to handle host mobility in a layer 2 Network with EVPN
control plane is defined as part of RFC 7432. EVPN has since evolved
to find wider applicability across various IRB use cases that include
distributing both MAC and IP reachability via a common EVPN control
plane. MAC Mobility procedures defined in RFC 7432 are extensible to
IRB use cases if a fixed 1:1 mapping between VM IP and MAC is assumed
across VM moves. Generic mobility support for IP and MAC that allows
these bindings to change across moves is required to support a
broader set of EVPN IRB use cases, and requires further
consideration. EVPN all-active multi-homing further introduces
scenarios that require additional consideration from mobility
perspective. This document enumerates a set of design considerations
applicable to mobility across these EVPN IRB use cases and defines
generic sequence number assignment procedures to address these IRB
use cases.
