AC-Aware Bundling Service Interface in EVPN
draft-sajassi-bess-evpn-ac-aware-bundling-03
Abstract
EVPN provides an extensible and flexible multi-homing VPN solution
over an MPLS/IP network for intra-subnet connectivity among Tenant
Systems and End Devices that can be physical or virtual.
EVPN multihoming with IRB is one of the common deployment scenarios.
There are deployments which requires capability to have multiple
subnets designated with multiple VLAN IDs in single bridge domain.
[RFC7432] defines three different type of service interface which
serve different requirements but none of them address the requirement
to be able to support multiple subnets within single bridge domain.
In this draft we define new service interface type to support
multiple subnets in single bridge domain. Service interface proposed
in this draft will be applicable to multihoming case only.
