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.
