Abstract

The BGP MPLS-based Ethernet VPN (EVPN) (RFC 7432) mechanism providesa flexible control plane that allows intra-subnet connectivity in anMPLS and/or Network Virtualization Overlay (NVO) (RFC 7365) network.In some networks, there is also a need for dynamic and efficientinter-subnet connectivity across Tenant Systems and end devices thatcan be physical or virtual and do not necessarily participate indynamic routing protocols. This document defines a new EVPN routetype for the advertisement of IP prefixes and explains some use-caseexamples where this new route type is used.
