    Abstract: A provider edge (PE) device may receive an indication to perform a designated forwarder (DF) election associated with a network segment that includes the PE device, one or more other PE devices, and a client edge (CE) device. The PE device, the one or more other PE devices, and the CE device may be associated with an Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) that includes a group of EVPN instances (EVIs). The PE device may perform the DF election in order to determine election information associated with the PE device. The election information may include information associated with a particular EVI, of the group of EVIs, for which the PE device is to act as a DF. The PE device may provide the election information to the CE device to cause the CE device to provide traffic, associated with a particular VLAN included in the particular EVI, to the PE device.

    Abstract: In general, techniques for facilitating a distributed network (L3) subnet by which multiple independent control planes of network devices connected to physically separate L2 networks provide L2 reachability to/from a single L3 subnet. In some examples, a shared L2 network physically situated to connect a plurality of physically separate L2 networks “stitches” the L2 networks together within the respective, independent control planes of switches such that the control planes bridge L2 traffic for a single bridge domain for the separate L2 networks to the shared L2 network and visa-versa. Each of the independent control planes may be configured with a virtual IRB instance associated with the bridge domain and with a common network subnet. Each of the virtual IRBs provides a functionally similar routing interface for the single bridge domain for the separate L2 networks and allows the shared network subnet to be distributed among the independent control planes.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing fast convergence in the event of a link failure in an all-active multi-homed Ethernet virtual private network. A provide edge (PE) network device may pre-configure an interface next hop and secondary next hops. The secondary next hops may be logical links to other PE network devices in the same Ethernet segment. In the event of a link failure in the interface next hop between the PE network device and a customer edge (CE) network device, the PE network device may be configured to forward data traffic to the CE network device using the secondary next hops. In the event of a link failure between the PE network device and a core network, the PE network device may be configured to send an out-of-service message to the CE network device that instructs the CE network device to stop sending traffic to the PE network device.

    Abstract: A device may receive, from a first device associated with a first LAN, network traffic destined for a second LAN. The device may provide the first LAN with access to a core network. The device may not provide the second LAN with access to the core network. The device may identify, based on the network traffic, a Layer 3 address associated with a second device. The second device may be associated with the second LAN. The device may determine that the first device is categorized as a leaf device within an Ethernet Tree provided by the device. The device may determine, based on the Layer 3 address, that the second device is categorized as a leaf device within the Ethernet Tree. The device may drop the network traffic based on determining that the first device and the second device are categorized as leaf devices within the Ethernet Tree.
