Seamless Multicast Interoperability between EVPN and MVPN PEs
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-mvpn-seamless-interop-00
Abstract
Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) solution is becoming
pervasive for Network Virtualization Overlay (NVO) services in data
center (DC) networks and as the next generation VPN services in
service provider (SP) networks.
As service providers transform their networks in their COs toward
next generation data center with Software Defined Networking (SDN)
based fabric and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), they want to
be able to maintain their offered services including Multicast VPN
(MVPN) service between their existing network and their new Service
Provider Data Center (SPDC) network seamlessly without the use of
gateway devices. They want to have such seamless interoperability
between their new SPDCs and their existing networks for a) reducing
cost, b) having optimum forwarding, and c) reducing provisioning.
This document describes a unified solution based on RFCs 6513 & 6514
for seamless interoperability of Multicast VPN between EVPN and MVPN
PEs. Furthermore, it describes how the proposed solution can be used
as a routed multicast solution in data centers with only EVPN PEs.
