EVPN-MPLS: BGP MPLS-based Ethernet VPN

You can use MPLS-based Ethernet VPN (EVPN) to route MAC addresses using BGP over an MPLS core network. An EVPN enables you to connect dispersed customer sites by using a Layer 2 virtual bridge. As with other types of VPNs,an EVPN consists of a customer edge (CE) device (host, router, or switch) connected to a provider edge (PE) switch. The device acts as a PE switch at the edge of the MPLS infrastructure. The switch can be connected by an MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) which provides the benefits of MPLS technology, such as fast reroute and resiliency. You can deploy multiple EVPNs within a service provider network, each providing network connectivity to a customer while ensuring that the traffic sharing on that network remains private.
