Hi Maria Perhaps I'm missing something but I thought EVPN was built using many of the same building blocks as RFC4364 so that it could be used in combination with EVPN. In other words IP VPN + EVPN.
Does that not address your point?

Specifically, EVPN can only address traffic bridged in the same VLAN. In data centers where most traffic is inter-VLAN, i.e., packets are routed, the EVPN doesn't achieve much as an overall solution. I tried to make this point on the webex during the nvo3 interim session when draft-drake-nvo3-evpn-control-plane was discussed but I am not sure if my message went through.
