Multi-site EVPN based VXLAN using Border Gateways
draft-sharma-multi-site-evpn-02
Abstract
This document describes the procedures for interconnecting two or
more BGP based Ethernet VPN (EVPN) sites in a scalable fashion over
an IP-only network. The motivation is to support extension of EVPN
sites without having to rely on typical Data Center Interconnect
(DCI) technologies like MPLS/VPLS for the interconnection. The
requirements for such a deployment are very similar to the ones
specified in RFC 7209 -- "Requirements for Ethernet VPN (EVPN)".
