Technical Summary
This document specifies extensions to Ethernet VPN (EVPN) Integrated
Routing and Bridging (IRB) procedures specified in RFC7432 and
RFC9135 to enhance the mobility mechanisms for EVPN IRB-based
networks. The proposed extensions improve the handling of host
mobility and duplicate address detection in EVPN-IRB networks to
cover a broader set of scenarios where host IP to MAC bindings may
change across moves. These enhancements address limitations in the
existing EVPN IRB mobility procedures by providing more efficient and
scalable solutions. The extensions are backward compatible with
existing EVPN IRB implementations and aim to optimize network
performance in scenarios involving frequent IP address mobility.
Working Group Summary
Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting?
For example, was there controversy about particular points
or were there decisions where the consensus was
particularly rough?
Consensus was clear on the draft with support from people from various

implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that
merit special mention as having done a thorough review,
e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a
conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If
there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review,
what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type
Review, on what date was the request posted?
There are at least two known implementations of the draft.
