Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, subsequent to receipt of a packet from a first customer network node destined for a second customer network node at a first provider network node, determining whether a local connection exists between the first provider network node and the second customer network node, the provider network node forming part of an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (“EVPN”)—Virtual Private Wire Service (“VPWS”) domain; if a local connection is determined to exist between the first provider network node and the second customer network node, determining whether the local connection has failed; if the local connection is determined not to have failed, switching the packet to the second customer network node via the local connection instead of via the EVPN-VPWS domain; and if the local connection is determined to have failed, switching the packet to the second customer network node via the EVPN-VPWS domain.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for fast convergence for virtual ethernet segments in EVPN and PBB-EVPN networks are disclosed. A first provider edge (PE) device can receive one or more advertising messages corresponding to one or more virtual ethernet segments, wherein each of the one or more advertising messages can include a port identifier. The first PE device maintains a table including the one or more virtual ethernet segments and the corresponding port identifier. The first PE device can receive a failure message from a second PE device that identifies a first port on the second PE device, and identifies, based on the table, at least one affected virtual ethernet segment that is associated with the first port. The first PE device can remove any routes that are associated with the at least one affected virtual ethernet segment and trigger mass designated-forwarding election for impacted virtual ethernet segments.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a network controller identifies a first sign of life for an edge device in a communication network (e.g., when the network controller receives an encapsulated workflow request for the edge device over a control plane of the communication network). The network controller further imports the encapsulated workflow request from the edge device over the control plane, determines configuration parameters for a tenant and a tenant network from the encapsulated workflow request, and transmits the configuration parameters to the edge device to provision the edge device for the tenant according to the configuration parameters.

Abstract: Message summarization and flood suppression may be provided. A proxy (e.g., an IGMP Proxy) process may be used to reduce the flooding of messages (e.g., IGMP messages) over a network (e.g., an EVPN network). A triggering process may also be provided for provider edge (PE) devices to setup their underlay multicast tunnels. The proxy may comprise two components: i) a proxy for reports (e.g., IGMP reports); and ii) a proxy for queries (e.g., IGMP Queries).

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for assisting Ethernet Segment (ES)-aware media access control (MAC) address learning is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a provider edge (PE) device, a data packet from a core network, the data packet identifying an ES from which the data packet originated and identifying a MAC address as a source MAC address; determining whether the PE device has an Ethernet connection in the ES identified by the data packet; and, upon positive determination, associating the MAC address identified as the source MAC address of the data packet to a bridge port, at the PE device, of the Ethernet connection in the ES identified by the data packet.

Abstract: A method of operation for a provider edge device of a core network includes receiving a customer frame from an access network; the customer frame having a first Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) tag of a first predetermined bit length. The first VLAN tag including a service instance identifier. The service instance identifier of the first VLAN tag is then mapped into a second VLAN tag of a second predetermined bit length greater than the first predetermined bit length. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Abstract: Presented herein is an exemplified system and method that facilitate a point-to-point (P2P) service operation, via EVPN VPWS service tunnels, between customer edge nodes and provider edge nodes in a network infrastructure (e.g., a MPLS infrastructure). In particular, the exemplified system and method employ an EVPN BGP construct that facilitates multiplexing across large number of different physical interfaces, among multiple device manufacturers and vendors, while reducing signaling among the nodes, and being fully supportive of EVPN capabilities. In an embodiment, a method is disclosed that establishes VPWS Service service-tunnels, which is associated with an Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) Ethernet Auto-Discovery (EAD) route identifies the service tunnel as being a VPWS-ID service, a single tag service, or a double tag service.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for flushing of Customer Media Access Control (C-MAC) addresses in a PBB-EVPN network are disclosed. A first provider edge (PE) device can maintain a plurality of service instances configured on a first interface. The first PE device can detect at least one failed ethernet virtual circuit (EVC) on the first interface and identify at least one service instance from the plurality of service instances that is associated with the at least one failed EVC. The PE device can send, to a second PE device, a C-MAC flush notification message that identifies the at least one service instance and the message can cause the second PE device to remove C-MAC addresses corresponding to the at least one service instance and the B-MAC address for the first interface.
