Abstract:
In Ethernet Virtual Private Networks (EVPNs), IP multicast traffic
replication and delivery play a crucial role in enabling efficient
and scalable Layer 2 and Layer 3 services. A common deployment
scenario involves redundant multicast sources that ensure high
availability and resiliency. However, the presence of redundant
sources can lead to duplicate IP multicast traffic in the network,
causing inefficiencies and increased overhead. This document
specifies extensions to the EVPN multicast procedures that allow for
the suppression of duplicate IP multicast traffic from redundant
sources. The proposed mechanisms enhance EVPN's capability to
deliver multicast traffic efficiently while maintaining high
availability. These extensions are applicable to various EVPN
deployment scenarios and provide guidelines to ensure consistent and
predictable behavior across diverse network topologies.
