      <abstract>
	 <t>   Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) provides a unified BGP
   control plane for both intra- and inter-subnet forwarding within
   tenant networks.  When a tenant network spans multiple domains,
   including any combination of EVPN and IPVPN domains, it becomes
   necessary to define the interworking mechanisms among these BGP
   domains (EVPN and VPN-IP) to ensure seamless end-to-end tenant
   connectivity.  This document defines these interworking procedures.

   In addition, this document defines a new BGP Path Attribute, referred
   to as D-PATH (Domain PATH), which provides loop prevention for
   gateway nodes by protecting against control plane loops.  The
   introduction of D-PATH modifies the BGP best path selection process
   for Multiprotocol BGP inter-subnet forwarding routes of SAFI 128
   (IPVPN) and SAFI 70 (EVPN).  As a result, this specification updates
   the BGP best path selection procedure, but only in the context of
   IPVPN and EVPN route families.
