Repost: BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, or SRv6?
Some vendors use the ancient MPLS/VPN control plane for L3VPN with SRv6, highlighting complexities in comparing BGP, EVPN, and SRv6.
MAIN POINTS
- Vendors implement L3VPN with SRv6 using the old MPLS/VPN control plane.
- Comparing BGP, EVPN, and SRv6 is complex and not straightforward.
- Unexpected findings arise when exploring network protocol implementations.
TAKEAWAYS
- Understanding network protocols requires awareness of historical implementations.
- SRv6 can be integrated with legacy control planes like MPLS/VPN.
- Network protocol comparisons involve intricate technical considerations.
