BGP EVPN Multihoming Extensions for Split Horizon Filtering BGP EVPN Multihoming Extensions for Split-Horizon Filtering
Abstract Abstract
An Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) is commonly used with An Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) is commonly used with
Network Virtualization Overlay (NVO) tunnels as well as with MPLS and Network Virtualization Overlay (NVO) tunnels as well as with MPLS and
Segment Routing (SR) tunnels. The multihoming procedures in EVPN may Segment Routing (SR) tunnels. The multihoming procedures in EVPN may
vary based on the type of tunnel used within the EVPN Broadcast vary based on the type of tunnel used within the EVPN Broadcast
Domain. Specifically, there are two multihoming split-horizon Domain. Specifically, there are two multihoming split-horizon
