Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a route reflector, a subscription request from a first provider edge node in a network and generating a subscription policy for the first provider edge node. The method also includes receiving a first Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) Type 2 Route from a second provider edge node, assigning a sequence number to the first EVPN Type 2 Route, and communicating the first EVPN Type 2 Route with the sequence number to the first provider edge node. The method further includes receiving a second EVPN Type 2 Route from a third provider edge node, generating an updated sequence number in response to receiving the second EVPN Type 2 Route from the third provider edge node, and communicating the second EVPN Type 2 Route with the updated sequence number to the first provider edge node and the second provider node.

Abstract: A method is described and in one embodiment includes receiving at a network node of an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (“EVPN”) an unsolicited neighbor discovery (“ND”) neighbor advertisement (“NA”) message transmitted on behalf of a host; updating an ND cache of the network node with data included in the ND NA message; syncing the received ND NA message to a multihoming peer of the network node; and advertising by the network node the ND NA message to other nodes in the EVPN.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for a control plane approach for dense topologies that focusses on discovering shared ECMP groups in the control plane independent of per-prefix learning and then learning prefixes via these shared ECMP groups instead of learning prefixes via one next-hop at a time. In dense topologies, this approach helps minimize BGP path scale, corresponding signaling and enables control plane scaling that is an order of magnitude higher than a traditional eBGP control plane. During link and node topology changes, the described control plane approach enables control plane signaling that is prefix independent and an order of magnitude lower. A control plane approach to path-list sharing and prefix independent signaling on link and node topology changes enables prefix independent convergence (PIC) in scenarios that would not be possible otherwise with traditional FIB driven path-list sharing and PIC.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for enabling interoperability between asymmetric and symmetric Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) modes. An interfacing component may be configured to receive a first route advertisement from a first edge node in a Layer-2 (L2) fabric. The first route advertisement may correspond to an asymmetric format route, for instance. The interfacing component may be further configured to receive a second route advertisement from a second edge node in a L2/Layer-3 (L3) fabric. The second edge node may be configured for symmetric integrated routing and bridging (IRB). The interfacing component may be configured to re-originate the first route and the second route such that the interfacing component is included as a hop in the resultant routes between the L2 fabric and the L2/L3 fabric.

Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to methods, systems, and computer program products for stitching route targets between disparate virtual private network domains. Embodiments are directed to a datacenter interconnect (DCI) network element that is configured to receive from a first network node of a first domain a routing prefix comprising a first route target value; determine that the first route target value is associated with a first route target set, the first route target set associated with the first domain; determine a corresponding second route target set associated with a second domain; create a second routing prefix that includes one or more route target values from the second route target set; and transmit the second routing prefix to a network node in the second domain.

Abstract: Presented herein are methods for advertising an IP prefix to address the connectivity problem in multi-chassis link aggregation scenario. A peer switch will advertise two VTEP addresses. It will use a physical IP (PIP) address as a next hop (NH) for a prefix route, while continuing to use a VIP for host IP and MAC route advertisement. A new virtual MAC is introduced and it is derived from the VIP as the router MAC associated with VIP. A switch is made to use a VIP for prefix advertisement when a device detects that the same prefix is reachable both locally and from its peer. This saves adjacency entries consumed in the remote VTEPs. These techniques fix the connectivity issue for prefix routes that is exposed with current EVPN, without requiring any additional adjacency resource consumption.
