[j-nsp] "protocols evpn ip-prefix-routes advertise direct-nexthop" behaviour

[Chen Jiang]

Hi! Experts

Sorry for disturbing. From JUNOS document, it said the "advertise
direct-nexthop" knob could do:
advertise direct-nexthop

Enable the switch to send IP prefix information using an EVPN pure Type 5
route, which includes a router MAC extended community used to send the MAC
address of the switch. This router MAC extended community provides next-hop
reachability without requiring an overlay next-hop or supporting Type 2
route.

When we do the EVPN lab, if it is EVPN over VXLAN, the PE will advertise
type 5 routes with the MAC extended community. But for EVPN over MPLS, the
PE will NOT advertise type 5 routes with the MAC extended community.

Is it the expected behaviour and what's the logic behind this. Thanks for
your help!
