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) and Data Centers (DCs) 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 may be implemented to
help IXPs and other operators deal with the issues derived from
Address Resolution in large broadcast domains.
