摘要: The techniques described are directed to providing mass withdrawal of media access control (MAC) routes for network devices in an Ethernet virtual private network data center interconnect (EVPN DCI). MAC routes to reach the learned MAC addresses are stored in routing tables with corresponding top-of-rack Ethernet segment identifier (TOR-ESI) values that represent the Ethernet segments from where the MAC addresses were learned. A provider edge (PE) network device may configure and advertise a virtual Ethernet segment identifier (vESI) that includes a plurality of TOR-ESI values. As Ethernet segments of the data center become unavailable, the corresponding TOR-ESI values may be withdrawn from the vESI to form an updated vESI. In this way, MAC routes having a TOR-ESI value that was withdrawn from the vESI may be removed from the routing tables in each of the network devices.

摘要: Techniques are described for utilizing Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) to transport BUM (broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast) traffic in a Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) underlay of a data center, where the BUM traffic is received on active-active, multi-homed Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) interconnects between multiple physical data centers. For example, the techniques may readily be applied to support usage of PIM-SM where provider edge (PE) routers of the EVPN operate as gateways between the EVPN and the VXLAN spanning the data center interconnect.

摘要: In general, techniques are described for performing a mass withdrawal of media access control (MAC) addresses using a reduced number of route withdrawal messages within a singly-homed segment of an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN). The techniques may include determining a segment identifier of the segment and sending a route advertisement to advertise a route for the segment identifier to a provider edge network device. The techniques may include sending a route advertisement to advertise one or more media access control (MAC) routes for the layer two segment. The techniques may also include, responsive to determining a link failure between a first provider edge network device and a customer edge network device, sending a withdrawal message to the second provider edge network device for the route associated with the segment identifier to withdraw all of the plurality of MAC routes at the second provider edge network device.

摘要: An aggregation node establishes a first session using a traffic-engineering label distribution protocol. The first session has a next hop adjacent to the aggregation node and positioned within a same network as the aggregation node. The aggregation node also establishes a second session using a traffic-engineering label distribution protocol, wherein the second session has a remote next hop positioned at a border between the network and a second network. The aggregation node sends a message destined for the remote next hop over the second session for establishing an end-to-end traffic engineered label switched path for a FEC specified in a label request message received from an access node, wherein the message includes the same the data indicating constraint information that was received by the aggregation node in the label request message.

摘要: A first network device receives a control message at an interface from a second network device, wherein the first network device and the second network device use a multipoint service that provides layer two (L2) connectivity between L2 networks. The control message specifies one or more L2 addresses of customer network devices that are provided connectivity to an autonomous system by the second network device, wherein the control message identifies the L2 addresses as static L2 addresses that are to be persistently maintained at the first network device as reachable by the interface. In response to receiving the control message and by the first network device, the first network device stores the L2 addresses as persistently maintained static L2 addresses being reachable by the interface at which the control message was received.
