    Abstract: Techniques for EVPN Host Routed Bridging (HRB) and EVPN cloud-native data center with Host Routed Bridging (HRB) are described. A host computing device of a data center includes one or more containerized user-level applications. A cloud native virtual router is configured for dynamic deployment by the data center application orchestration engine and operable in a user space of the host computing device. Processing circuitry is configured for execution of the containerized user-level applications and the cloud native virtual router. The cloud native virtual router comprises a containerized routing protocol process configured to operate as a control plane, and a data plane for the containerized router. The data plane is configured to operate an ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) encapsulation/decapsulation data path of an overlay network for communicating layer two (L2) network traffic of the containerized user applications over a switch fabric of the data center.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide novel methods for providing a stateful service at a network edge device (e.g., an NSX edge) that has a plurality of north-facing interfaces (e.g., interfaces to an external network) and a plurality of corresponding south-facing interfaces (e.g., interfaces to a logical network). A set of interfaces on each side of the network edge device for a set of equal cost paths, in some embodiments, are bonded together in the network edge device to correspond to a single interface on either side of a logical bridge including at least one logical switch providing a stateful service implemented by the network edge device. The bond is implemented, in some embodiments, by a bonding module executing on the network edge device that maintains a mapping between ingress and egress interfaces to allow deterministic forwarding through the network edge device in the presence of bonded interfaces.
