      <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 IPVPN) 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).
