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: The problem of looping at the egress of a transport network with a CE multihomed to a protected egress PE and a backup/protector egress PE can be avoided by (a) enabling the protector egress PE to distinguish between fast reroute (FRR) traffic coming from the protected egress PE and normal known unicast (KU) traffic coming from a PE of the transport network that is not attached to the same multihomed segment; (b) receiving, by the protector egress PE, known unicast data, to be forwarded to the CE; (c) determining, by the protector egress PE, that a link between it and the CE is unavailable; and (d) responsive to determining that the link between the protector egress PE and the CE is unavailable, (1) determining whether the known unicast traffic received was sent from the protected egress PE or from another PE of the transport network that is not attached to the same multihomed segment, and (2) responsive to a determination that the known unicast traffic received was sent from the protected egress PE, discarding the known unicast traffic received, and otherwise, responsive to a determination that the known unicast (KU) traffic received was sent from another PE of the transport network that is not attached to the same multihomed segment, sending the known multicast traffic, via a backup tunnel, to an egress PE which protects the protector egress PE.
