Abstract

Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) solution is becoming pervasive in data center (DC) applications for Network Virtualization Overlay (NVO) and DC interconnect (DCI) services and in service provider (SP) applications for next-generation virtual private LAN services. EVPN defines sets of procedures to achieve multihoming between peers. When the multicast source is protected by EVPN multihoming for redundancy and multicast receivers are present behind PIM network, there are cases where traffic blackholes. PIM Flooding Mechanism (PFM) and Source Discovery (SD) define new flood mechanisms in PIM domain to carry information about source and group. This draft defines the necessary extension to PFM-SD procedures to have seamless integration with EVPN supported multihoming.
