This week, Packet Pushers’ hosts Ethan Banks and Greg Ferro queue up a discussion about a new technology, exploring EVPN with Russ White & Jeff Tantsura from Ericsson. What’s EVPN? Well, it’s short for Ethernet VPN, and it’s a way of using BGP as a routing system for MAC addresses. If that sounds like SPB or TRILL, there are some comparisons that can be drawn, but overall, EVPN is rather different. Give the show a listen, as EVPN has a number of use-cases and broad industry support — it’s an an acronym you’re likely to see again.
