Abstract
This document proposes a centralized DF Designated Forwarder election mechanism to be used between the SDN(Software defined network) controller and each PE(Provider Edge) in EVPN network. Such a mechanism overcomes the issues of current standalone DF election defined in RFC7432. A new BGP capability and an additional DF Election Result Route Type are proposed to support the centralized DF mechanism.
