Abstract:
This document specifies extensions to Ethernet VPN (EVPN) Integrated
Routing and Bridging (IRB) procedures specified in RFC7432 and
RFC9135 to enhance the mobility mechanisms for EVPN-IRB based
networks. The proposed extensions improve the handling of host
mobility and duplicate address detection in EVPN-IRB networks to
cover a broader set of scenarios where a host's unicast IP address to
MAC address bindings may change across moves. These enhancements
address limitations in the existing EVPN-IRB mobility procedures by
providing more efficient and scalable solutions. The extensions are
backward compatible with existing EVPN-IRB implementations and aim to
optimize network performance in scenarios involving frequent IP
address mobility.
NOTE TO IESG (TO BE DELETED BEFORE PUBLISHING): This draft lists six
authors which is above the required limit of five. Given significant
and active contributions to the draft from all six authors over the
course of six years, we would like to request IESG to allow
publication with six authors. Specifically, the three Cisco authors
are the original inventors of these procedures and contributed
heavily to rev 0 draft, most of which is still intact. AT&T is also
a key contributor towards defining the use cases that this document
addresses as well as the proposed solution. Authors from Nokia and
Juniper have further contributed to revisions and discussions
steadily over last six years to enable respective implementations and
a wider adoption.
