[j-nsp] LDP VPLS - Multi-homing

[Alexander Marhold]

Regarding EVPN testing
Why not taking some vMXes in an VMware or KVM environment, or even vQFX10k
All those are able to do EVPN L2 and L3 and with active/active multihoming

I do it since more than a year using different vMX versions

Regards

Alexander Marhold

If you want to practice with EVPN in a non-Juniper environment I think it
works on the Cumulus Linux free/demo VM and probably some others like Cisco
xrv9k I believe, maybe the latest vMX supports it too?

Yeah EVPN has control-plane level MAC learning; from a high level imagine it
like a typical layer 3 VPN with IP prefixes being sent in BGP UPDATES just
that MACs are sent instead.

Cheers,
James.
