Technical Summary

This document describes the EVPN Proxy-ARP/ND function, augmented by
the capability of the ARP/ND Extended Community. Together, these
help operators of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), Data Centers
(DCs), and other networks deal with IPv4 and IPv6 address resolution
issues associated with large Broadcast Domains (DBs) by reducing and
even suppressing the flooding produced by address resolution in the
EVPN network.

Working Group Summary

The document was developed to address the desire to minimise flooding of traffic
associated with address resolution in EVPN. It is particularly important due to the
large size that EVPN networks can grow to, particularly in terms of the numbers of CEs
and hosts. It makes recommendations for implementations of Proxy-ARP/ND to help
operators deal with the issues derived from Address Resolution in large broadcast
domains.

There are no IPR declarations on the draft .
