Hi Chongfeng

This is a very intriguing solution.

The use case for this solution is EVPN L2 stretch  over the internet or
disparate IP networks that could be in the same OAD admin domain and have
IP connectivity between disparate PEs but do not have the availability to
natively extend the EVPN control plane but are able to stitch the data
plane.

I think if you are able to extend EVPN control plane natively then you
would do regular EVPN but if you cannot then you are stuck and this
solution fills that gap.

I guess there could be case of a Telco cloud providet with hybrid cloud on
prem and off prem DC CSP cloud provider through a CXP POP and now this
could be method of providing L2 stretch of data plane via EVN6 control
plane.

With the procedure once the tunnel is established at the beginning once the
dynamic mapping happens would you not need DF election ?

Since this is all new procedures from RFC 7432 and RFC 8365 base RFCs would
you have to write the entire new EVPN control plane procedures.  For
example how would RFC 9135 inter subnet forwarding work?

Very nice indeed!

Kind Regards

Gyan
