1. Using BGP between PE and CE in EVPN
Publication: IETF Individual Draft
Publication History: 2015-10
Publication URL: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zhuang-bess-evpn-pe-ce-00
Description:
This document identifies the possible applications which can benefit from MAC learning through the control plane between PEs and CEs. Then this document specifies protocols and procedures of using BGP as PE-CE control protocol for carrying customer MAC routing information.
2. Selective Multicast in EVPN
Publication: IETF Individual Draft
Publication History: 2013-10
Publication URL: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zhang-l2vpn-evpn-selective-mcast-00
Description:
[I-D.ietf-l2vpn-evpn] describes a solution of carrying multicast traffic using replication ingress and inclusive trees (P2MP LSPs). It does not provide the usage of selective trees for carrying multicast traffic. This document provides protocols and procedures by which an selective tree can be used to carry traffic belonging only to a specified set of IP multicast streams from one or more EVPN instances.
3. Multicast State Advertisement in E-VPN
Publication: IETF Individual Draft
Publication History: 2013-07
Publication URL: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-li-l2vpn-evpn-mcast-state-ad-00
Description:
The document defines a new extended community to advertise the active or inactive state for multicast along with the Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag route or Ethernet A-D route in E-VPN. The multicast state advertised can help optimization of multicast process in E-VPN to reduce unnecessary traffic replication for the broadcast, unknown unicast and multicast (BUM) traffic.
4. Segment-Based EVPN(S-EVPN)
Publication: IETF Individual Draft
Publication History: 2013-07
Publication URL: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-li-l2vpn-segment-evpn-00
Description:
This document proposes an enhanced EVPN mechanism, segment-based EVPN (S-EVPN). It satisfies the requirements of PBB-EVPN but does not require PBB implementation on PE. The solution uses a global label for each Ethernet Segment (ES) in an EVPN. It inserts the source ES label into packets at ingress PE and learns C-MAC and source ES label binding at egress PE. The solution makes the implementation easier and closer to EVPN’s compared to PBB-EVPN but has the PBB-EVPN benefits.
5. MVPN/EVPN Tunnel Aggregation with Common Labels
Publication: IETF WG Draft
Publication History: 2019-10
Publication URL: draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-evpn-aggregation-label-03
Description:
The MVPN specifications allow a single Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) tunnel to carry traffic of multiple VPNs. The EVPN specifications allow a single P2MP tunnel to carry traffic of multiple Broadcast Domains (BDs). These features require the ingress router of the P2MP tunnel to allocate an upstream-assigned MPLS label for each VPN or for each BD. A packet sent on a P2MP tunnel then carries the label that is mapped to its VPN or BD. (In some cases, a distinct upstream-assigned is needed for each flow.) Since each ingress router allocates labels independently, with no coordination among the ingress routers, the egress routers may need to keep track of a large number of labels. The number of labels may need to be as large (or larger) than the product of the number of ingress routers times the number of VPNs or BDs. However, the number of labels can be greatly reduced if the association between a label and a VPN or BD is made by provisioning, so that all ingress routers assign the same label to a particular VPN or BD. New procedures are needed in order to take advantage of such provisioned labels. These new procedures also apply to Multipoint-to-Multipoint (MP2MP) tunnels. This document updates RFCs 6514, 7432 and 7582 by specifying the necessary procedures.
6. A Framework for E-VPN Performance Monitoring
Publication: IETF Individual Draft
Publication History: 2013-07
Publication URL: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zheng-l2vpn-evpn-pm-framework-00
Description:
The capability of Ethernet VPN performance monitoring (PM) is important to meet the Service Level Agreement(SLA) for the service beared. Since multipoint-to-point or multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP) network model applies, flow identifying is a big challenge for E-VPN PM. This document specifies the framework and mechanisms for the application of E-VPN PM.
7. EVPN All Active Usage Enhancement
Publication: IETF Individual Draft
Publication History: 2018-03
Publication URL: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-eastlake-bess-enhance-evpn-all-active-00
Description:
A principal feature of EVPN is the ability to support multihoming from a customer equipment (CE) to multiple provider edge equipment (PE) active with all-active links. This draft specifies an improvement to load balancing such links.
8. EVPN VXLAN Bypass VTEP
Publication: IETF Individual Draft
Publication History: 2019-11-04
Publication URL: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-eastlake-bess-evpn-vxlan-bypass-vtep-04
Description:
A principal feature of EVPN is the ability to support multihoming from a customer equipment (CE) to multiple provider edge equipment (PE) with all-active links. This draft specifies a mechanism to simplify PEs used with VXLAN tunnels and enhance VXLAN Active-Active reliability.
