A method comprising: establishing an Ethernet Virtual Private Network -EVPN- within a metro transport network positioned between at least one Internet service provider network and a set of subscriber devices, wherein the metro transport network provides layer two -L2- packet switching for transporting network packets between the Internet service provider network and the subscriber devices, wherein the Internet service provider network authenticates the subscriber devices and allocates the subscriber devices respective Internet Protocol -IP- network addresses from an IP network address prefix assigned to the Internet service provider network, and wherein the EVPN is established within the metro transport network by at least one access router that is connected to the subscriber devices by one or more access links and by at least one peering router of the metro transport network and by at least one network provider edge router positioned, and operable to carry traffic, between the at least one Internet service provider network and the metro transport network, wherein the at least one peering router is owned and operated by a metro carrier and the at least one Internet service provider network owned and operated by an Internet service provider; outputting, within the EVPN by the access router and to the peering router, an EVPN route advertisement that advertises network address reachability information of the subscriber devices on behalf of the Internet service provider network, wherein the EVPN route advertisement indicates that the subscriber devices are reachable through the access router; outputting, with the peering router of the metro transport network, a routing protocol route advertisement that advertises the network address reachability information of the subscriber devices to a border router of a content data network; responsive to the routing protocol route advertisement, associating, by the border router, the peering router as the forwarding next hop for the subscriber devices; receiving, with the peering router of the metro transport network and directly from the content data network bypassing the Internet service provider network, packets addressed to one or more of the subscriber devices; encapsulating, with the access router, the packets and tunneling the packets through the EVPN-enabled metro transport network from the peering router to the access router; and with the access router, de-encapsulating the packets from the metro transport network and forwarding the packets to the one or more subscriber devices. establishing an Ethernet Virtual Private Network -EVPN- within a metro transport network positioned between at least one Internet service provider network and a set of subscriber devices, wherein the metro transport network provides layer two -L2- packet switching for transporting network packets between the Internet service provider network and the subscriber devices, wherein the Internet service provider network authenticates the subscriber devices and allocates the subscriber devices respective Internet Protocol -IP- network addresses from an IP network address prefix assigned to the Internet service provider network, and wherein the EVPN is established within the metro transport network by at least one access router that is connected to the subscriber devices by one or more access links and by at least one peering router of the metro transport network and by at least one network provider edge router positioned, and operable to carry traffic, between the at least one Internet service provider network and the metro transport network, wherein the at least one peering router is owned and operated by a metro carrier and the at least one Internet service provider network owned and operated by an Internet service provider;
