Ethernet VPN explained

Ethernet VPN (EVPN) is a technology for carrying layer 2 Ethernet traffic as a virtual private network using wide area network protocols. EVPN technologies include Ethernet over MPLS and Ethernet over VXLAN.^{[1] [2]}

EVPNs are covered by a number of Internet RFCs, including:

• "Requirements for Ethernet VPN (EVPN)",
• "BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN",
• "A Network Virtualization Overlay Solution Using Ethernet VPN (EVPN)",
• "Ethernet-Tree (E-Tree) Support in Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and Provider Backbone Bridging EVPN (PBB-EVPN)".
• "Operational Aspects of Proxy ARP/ND in Ethernet Virtual Private Networks".
