Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods for detecting an Ethernet segment failure in an Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) are described herein. An example method can include monitoring for failure of an Ethernet segment, establishing a bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) session with a remote peer, and transmitting a BFD control packet to the remote peer over a network. The BFD control packet can include a notification of the failure of the Ethernet segment.
