This feature introduces basic support for integrated routing and bridging (IRB) with IPv6 addressing (IPv6 Layer 3 gateway) in EVPN MPLS (MAC-VRF). An EVPN-based IRB solution provides optimum unicast and multicast forwarding for both intrasubnets and intersubnets within and across data centers. You can use the EVPN IRB feature to extend Layer 2 VPN and Layer 3 VPN services.
