Abstract:

   In Ethernet Virtual Private Networks (EVPNs), IP multicast traffic
   replication and delivery play a crucial role in enabling efficient
   and scalable Layer 2 and Layer 3 services.  A common deployment
   scenario involves redundant multicast sources that ensure high
   availability and resiliency.  However, the presence of redundant
   sources can lead to duplicate IP multicast traffic in the network,
   causing inefficiencies and increased overhead.  This document
   specifies extensions to the EVPN multicast procedures that allow for
   the suppression of duplicate IP multicast traffic from redundant
   sources.  The proposed mechanisms enhance EVPN's capability to
   deliver multicast traffic efficiently while maintaining high
   availability.  These extensions are applicable to various EVPN
   deployment scenarios and provide guidelines to ensure consistent and
   predictable behavior across diverse network topologies.
