Provider Backbone Bridging Combined with Ethernet VPN (PBB-EVPN)
Abstract
This document discusses how Ethernet Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB)
can be combined with Ethernet VPN (EVPN) in order to reduce the
number of BGP MAC Advertisement routes by aggregating Customer/Client
MAC (C-MAC) addresses via Provider Backbone MAC (B-MAC) address,
provide client MAC address mobility using C-MAC aggregation, confine
the scope of C-MAC learning to only active flows, offer per-site
policies, and avoid C-MAC address flushing on topology changes. The
combined solution is referred to as PBB-EVPN.
