A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks Working Group of the IETF. Title : Requirements for Ethernet VPN (EVPN) Authors : Ali Sajassi Rahul Aggarwal Nabil Bitar Aldrin Isaac Filename : draft-ietf-l2vpn-evpn-req-07.txt Pages : 16 Date : 2014-02-07 Abstract: The widespread adoption of Ethernet L2VPN services and the advent of new applications for the technology (e.g., data center interconnect) have culminated in a new set of requirements that are not readily addressable by the current Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) solution. In particular, multi-homing with all-active forwarding is not supported and there's no existing solution to leverage Multipoint-to-Multipoint (MP2MP) LSPs for optimizing the delivery of multi-destination frames. Furthermore, the provisioning of VPLS, even in the context of BGP-based auto-discovery, requires network operators to specify various network parameters on top of the access configuration. This document specifies the requirements for an Ethernet VPN (EVPN) solution which addresses the above issues.
