    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for providing control plane messaging in an active-active (or all-active) configuration of a multi-homed EVPN environment. In some examples, the techniques include receiving a control plane message comprising at least one address that identifies that second PE network device. The techniques may include configuring, based at least in part on the control plane message, a forwarding plane of a first PE network device to identify network packets having respective destination addresses that match the at least one address. The techniques may include determining that at least one address of the network packet matches the at least one address that identifies the second PE network device. The techniques may include, responsive to the determination, skipping a decrement of the Time-To-Live (TTL) value of the network packet, and forwarding the network packet to the second PE network device.

    Abstract: In general, techniques are provided for receiving a first control plane message that indicates the reachability of the second PE network device as a designated forwarder in an Ethernet segment. The techniques include receiving a second control plane message comprising information that indicates, in the event of a network failure at the second PE router, that the third PE network device of the plurality of PE network devices is the designated forwarder in the layer two segment. The techniques also include forwarding layer two frames to the second PE network device identified as the designated forwarder in the layer two segment; and responsive to determining a network failure at the second PE network device, configuring, based at least in part on the second control plane message, a forwarding plane of the first PE network device to forward layer two frames to the third PE network device as the designated forwarder.
