This document discusses how Ethernet Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB)
can be combined with Ethernet VPN (EVPN) in order to reduce the
number of BGP MAC Advertisement routes by aggregating Customer/Client
MAC (C-MAC) addresses via Provider Backbone MAC (B-MAC) address,
provide client MAC address mobility using C-MAC aggregation, confine
the scope of C-MAC learning to only active flows, offer per-site
policies, and avoid C-MAC address flushing on topology changes. The
combined solution is referred to as PBB-EVPN.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
