EVPN with VXLAN data plane encapsulation

EVPN with VXLAN encapsulation can be used to provide Layer 2 connectivity for end stations within a Virtualized Network (VN) created by the Contrail virtualization software. The end stations consist of virtual hosts connected to the virtualized server, and non-virtualized bare metal servers connected to top-of-rack platforms. MX Series routers also function as default gateways for the inter-VN traffic among end stations that belong to different VNs. EVPN is used as a Layer 2 overlay solution to provide Layer 2 connections over the IP underlay for the endpoints within a VN whenever Layer 2 connectivity is required by an end station.
