If you want to practice with EVPN in a non-Juniper environment I think it works on the Cumulus Linux free/demo VM and probably some others like Cisco xrv9k I believe, maybe the latest vMX supports it too? Yeah EVPN has control-plane level MAC learning; from a high level imagine it like a typical layer 3 VPN with IP prefixes being sent in BGP UPDATES just that MACs are sent instead.
