Usage and Applicability of BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN
RFC 8388, “Usage and Applicability of BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN”, is an Informational document published in May 2018 by J. Rabadan, S. Palislamovic, W. Henderickx, A. Sajassi, J. Uttaro. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document discusses the usage and applicability of BGP MPLS-based Ethernet VPN (EVPN) in a simple and fairly common deployment scenario. The different EVPN procedures are explained in the example scenario along with the benefits and trade-offs of each option. This document is intended to provide a simplified guide for the deployment of EVPN networks.
