Provider Backbone Bridging Combined with Ethernet VPN (PBB-EVPN)
S. Salam, Nabil N. Bitar, Aldrin Isaac, W. Henderickx · 2015
This document discusses how Ethernet Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) can be combined with Ethernet VPN (EVPN) in order to reduce the number of BGP MAC Advertisement routes by aggregating Customer/Client MAC (C-MAC) addresses via Provider Backbone MAC (B-MAC) address, provide client MAC address mobility using C-MAC aggregation, confine the scope of C-MAC learning to only active flows, offer per-site policies, and avoid C-MAC address flushing on topology changes.The combined solution is referred to as PBB-EVPN.
