Description:


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.

Our Discussion

  • What is EVPN?
  • How is EVPN different from L2VPN services like EoMPLS or VPLS?
  • How does EVPN work?
  • What are the technical advantages of EVPN?
  • What are the EVPN use-cases & benefits for the service provider?
  • What about for the end customer?
  • How far along in the IETF process has EVPN gotten?
  • What vendors are showing support for EVPN? Are there any commercial products yet?
  • Does an end user have to do anything special to support EVPN on their network? Or is it invisible to them like most service provider handoffs?
  • How does EVPN relate to existing data center fabrics?
