A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Proxy-ARP/ND function in EVPN networks Authors : Jorge Rabadan Senthil Sathappan Kiran Nagaraj Wim Henderickx Thomas King Daniel Melzer Filename : draft-snr-bess-evpn-proxy-arp-nd-00.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2015-03-09 Abstract: The MAC/IP Advertisement route specified in [RFC7432] can optionally carry IPv4 and IPv6 addresses associated with a MAC address. Remote PEs can use this information to reply locally (act as proxy) to IPv4 ARP requests and IPv6 Neighbor Solicitation messages and reduce/suppress the flooding produced by the Address Resolution procedure. This EVPN capability is extremely useful in Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) with large broadcast domains, where the amount of ARP/ND flooded traffic causes issues on routers and CEs, as explained in [RFC6820]. This document describes how the [RFC7432] EVPN proxy-ARP/ND function should be implemented to help IXPs and other operators deal with the issues derived from Address Resolution in large broadcast domains.
