Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created document RFC 9721, created became rfc relationship between draft-ietf-bess-evpn-irb-extended-mobility and RFC 9721, set title to 'Extended Mobility Procedures for Ethernet VPN Integrated Routing and Bridging (EVPN-IRB)', set abstract to 'This document specifies extensions to the Ethernet VPN Integrated Routing and Bridging (EVPN-IRB) procedures specified in RFCs 7432 and 9135 to enhance the mobility mechanisms for networks based on EVPN-IRB.  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 a host's unicast IP address to Media Access Control (MAC) address 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.', set pages to 25, set standardization level to Proposed Standard, added RFC published event at 2025-04-30)
