What about EVPN?

[MichaelM55]

Hi,

I just read https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/monday_general_hankins_vpn_2.pdf

Does anyone know whether EVPN and its RFCs are one the roadmap of any HP/H3C physical switch/router?

Hi Michael,

What kind of usecase do you look for? As you know HP supports Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) today. Great multi-tenant L2 interconnect technology which is realy simpel to configure and setup. EVPN needs BGP, etc etc. so maybe more a provider protocol. There are also draft RFCs talking about connecting SPB domains to EVPN. I don't think anyone will disclose any roadmap information here.

Cheers
