Ethernet VPN (EVPN) is a technology for carrying layer 2 Ethernet traffic as a virtual private network using wide area network protocols.
[1][2] EVPN uses encapsulation methods to ensure efficient and scalable transmission of Ethernet traffic over MPLS or IP-based networks.
The encapsulation encapsulates Ethernet frames within MPLS or VXLAN headers for transport.
In MPLS-based EVPN, Ethernet frames are encapsulated with: The encapsulated packet flow includes: EVPNs are covered by a number of Internet RFCs, including:
