This document specifies how Ethernet VPN (EVPN) can be used as a
Network Virtualization Overlay (NVO) solution and explores the
various tunnel encapsulation options over IP and their impact on the
EVPN control plane and procedures. In particular, the following
encapsulation options are analyzed: Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN),
Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE),
and MPLS over GRE. This specification is also applicable to Generic
Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE); however, some
incremental work is required, which will be covered in a separate
document. This document also specifies new multihoming procedures
for split-horizon filtering and mass withdrawal. It also specifies
EVPN route constructions for VXLAN/NVGRE encapsulations and
Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR) procedures for multihoming of
Network Virtualization Edge (NVE) devices.
This document is a product of the BGP Enabled Services Working Group of the
IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
