    Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure may improve multicast forwarding in an Ethernet Virtual Private Network when delivering multicast traffic to receivers on a different IP subnet than the multicast source. A method may include configuring first and second layer-2 domains to forward network traffic; configuring a first layer-3 Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) interface for the first layer-2 domain and a second layer-3 IRB interface for the second layer 2 domain; receiving a multicast packet from a multicast source device, the multicast source device being included in the first layer-2 domain, the multicast packet having a multicast receiver device in the second layer-2 domain; and forwarding, using the first and second layer-3 IRB interfaces, the multicast packet to the multicast receiver device, without receiving the multicast packet from another provider edge router that has been elected as the designated router on the second IRB interface for the second layer-2 domain.

    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for configuring a provider edge (PE) network device of an Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) to use a common traffic engineering label (e.g., MPLS label) for different EVPN route types associated with the same EVPN. In some examples, the techniques include sending a first layer three (L3) control plane message that indicates a label-switched network protocol label that corresponds to a first EVPN route type, wherein the first L3 control plane message indicates that a first PE network device is reachable in the L2 segment. The techniques may include performing L2 address learning to determine at least one L2 address associated with the layer two segment of the EVPN. The techniques may include sending a second L3 control plane message that indicates the same label included in the first L3 control plane message corresponds to a second EVPN route type.

    Abstract: In one example, a stitching point routing device, which stitches a previous segment of an end-to-end label-switched path (LSP) to a next segment of the end-to-end LSP, includes network interfaces configured to receive packets via the previous segment and send packets via the next segment, and one or more processors configured to determine whether the next segment supports entropy labels, determine whether a packet received from the previous segment is encapsulated by a label stack including an entropy label, when the next segment does not support entropy labels and when the packet is encapsulated by the label stack including the entropy label, remove the entropy label from the label stack, when the next segment supports entropy labels and when the packet is not encapsulated by the label stack including the entropy label, add an entropy label to the label stack, and forward the packet along the next segment.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing fast reroute for traffic in EVPN-VXLAN. For example, a backup PE device of an Ethernet segment is configured with an additional tunnel endpoint address (“reroute tunnel endpoint address”) for a backup path associated with a second split-horizon group that is different than a tunnel endpoint address and first split-horizon group for another path used for normal traffic forwarding. The backup PE device sends the reroute tunnel endpoint address to a primary PE device of the Ethernet segment, which uses the reroute tunnel endpoint address to configure a backup path to the backup PE device over the core network. For example, the primary PE device may install the reroute tunnel endpoint address within its forwarding plane and one or more operations to cause the primary PE device to encapsulate a VXLAN header including the reroute tunnel endpoint address when rerouting the packet along the backup path.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing fast reroute for BUM traffic in EVPN. For example, a first provider edge (PE) device, elected as a designated forwarder (DF) of an Ethernet segment, configures a backup path using a label received from a second PE device of the Ethernet segment (e.g., backup DF) that identifies the second PE device as a “protector” of the Ethernet segment. For example, a routing component of the DF configures within a forwarding component a backup path to the second PE device, e.g., installing the label and operation(s) within the forwarding component to cause the forwarding component to add the label to BUM packets received from a core network. Therefore, when an access link to the local CE device has failed, the DF reroutes BUM packets from the core network via the backup path to the second PE device, which sends the BUM packets to the CE device.
