Abstract:

   The procedure to handle host mobility in a layer 2 Network with EVPN
   control plane is defined as part of [RFC7432].  EVPN has since
   evolved to find wider applicability across various IRB use cases that
   include distributing both MAC and IP reachability via a common EVPN
   control plane.  MAC Mobility procedures defined in [RFC7432] are
   extensible to IRB use cases if a fixed 1:1 mapping between host IP
   and MAC is assumed across host moves.  Generic mobility support for
   IP and MAC addresses that allows these bindings to change across
   moves IS REQUIRED to support a broader set of EVPN IRB use cases.
   EVPN all-active multi-homing further introduces scenarios that
   require additional consideration from mobility perspective.  This
   document enumerates a set of design considerations applicable to
   mobility across these EVPN IRB use cases and updates sequence number
   assignment procedures defined in [RFC7432] to address these IRB use
   cases.

   NOTE TO IESG (TO BE DELETED BEFORE PUBLISHING): This draft lists six
   authors which is above the required limit of five.  Given significant
   and active contributions to the draft from all six authors over the
   course of six years, we would like to request IESG to allow
   publication with six authors.  Specifically, the three Cisco authors
   are the original inventors of these procedures and contributed
   heavily to rev 0 draft, most of which is still intact.  AT&T is also
   a key contributor towards defining the use cases that this document
   addresses as well as the proposed solution.  Authors from Nokia and
   Juniper have further contributed to revisions and discussions
   steadily over last six years to enable respective implementations and
   a wider adoption.
