Optimized Ingress Replication solution for EVPN
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-optimized-ir-01
Abstract
Network Virtualization Overlay (NVO) networks using EVPN as control
plane may use ingress replication (IR) or PIM-based trees to convey
the overlay BUM traffic. PIM provides an efficient solution to avoid
sending multiple copies of the same packet over the same physical
link, however it may not always be deployed in the NVO core network.
IR avoids the dependency on PIM in the NVO network core. While IR
provides a simple multicast transport, some NVO networks with
demanding multicast applications require a more efficient solution
without PIM in the core. This document describes a solution to
optimize the efficiency of IR in NVO networks.
