  • Avoiding traffic blackholing in an EVPN DCI network topology caused by EVPN aliasing
    Patent number: 12764065
    Abstract: Techniques for avoiding traffic blackholing problems in an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) Data Center Interconnect (DCI) network topology that are caused by EVPN aliasing are provided. In one set of embodiments, a gateway device in the EVPN DCI network topology can determine whether an Ethernet Segment (ES) to which the gateway device is connected is an Interconnect ES (I-ES). If so, the gateway device can advertise an Auto-Discovery (AD) per ES route for the ES to one or more other network elements in the EVPN DCI network topology, without advertising any AD per EVPN Instance (EVI) routes for the ES.
