               draft-wang-bess-evpn-egress-protection-01

Abstract

   A fast reroute framework for egress node protection is specified by
   [RFC8679] . But it cannot be applied to EVPN directly.  This document
   specifies a mechanism to apply Egress Node Protection to EVPN nodes
   and apply Egress Link Protection to EVPN EAD/EVI routes.

   In Section 6, this draft is compared with three other drafts.  These
   drafts are:

   *  VTEP Group - [I-D.eastlake-bess-evpn-vxlan-bypass-vtep].

   *  DT2UL DX2L - [I-D.hu-bess-srv6-vpn-bypass-sid].

   *  Mirror SID - [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-srv6-egress-protection].
