Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) can be combined with Ethernet
Virtual Private Networks (EVPNs) to deploy Ethernet Local Area
Network (E-LAN) services in large Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS) networks. That combination is what we refer to as "PBB-EVPN."
Single-Active multihoming and per Service Instance Identifier (I-SID)
load-balancing can be provided to access devices and aggregation
networks. In order to speed up the network convergence in case of
failures on Single-Active multihomed Ethernet Segments (ESs),
PBB-EVPN defines a flush mechanism for Customer MACs (C-MACs) called
"C-MAC flush" that works for different Ethernet Segment Backbone MAC
(B-MAC) address allocation models. This document complements those
C-MAC flush procedures for cases in which no PBB-EVPN ESs are defined
(i.e., the attachment circuit is associated with a zero Ethernet
Segment Identifier (ESI)) and the C-MAC flush requires I-SID-level
granularity.

This document is a product of the BGP Enabled ServiceS Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
