EVPN-VPWS

Point-to-point Ethernet service signalled with BGP EVPN (RFC 8214) instead of LDP, supporting all-active multihoming.

Definition

Each attachment circuit is identified by a local and remote service ID exchanged in EVPN Type 1 routes. It runs over MPLS or SRv6 and is the modern replacement for LDP-signalled pseudowires.

Example

l2vpn xconnect group G / p2p P1 / neighbor evpn evi 100 target 1 source 2

Exam tip

EVPN-VPWS uses Type 1 routes and needs no targeted LDP.
