Abstract:
   To enhance the reliability, bridged network is normally multi-homed
   to an EVPN network, there are two categories of mechanisms to avoid
   the layer 2 traffic loop. The first category does not require the PEs
   participating in the control protocol of the bridged network, while
   the second category requires that. [EVPN] described one of the first
   category mechanisms called  designated forwarder (DF) election to
   achieve loop avoidance and vlan-based load balancing. This draft
   mainly focuses on the second category of mechanisms which can achieve
   intra-vlan MAC-based load balancing. MAC-based VLAN balancing is more
   applicable than DF election mechanism if all end stations in bridged
   network are on the same VLAN which can cause traffic congestion in DF
   link.
