Abstract:
In some examples, a method includes receiving, by a first provider edge (PE) device of a layer 3 network, configuration data configuring the PE device to provide, via an Ethernet segment with an edge device, active-active multi-homing layer 2 (L2) virtual bridge connectivity to the edge device using an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) instance; receiving, by the first PE device, a multicast Join message for multicast traffic, the multicast Join message identifying a second PE device that also participates in the EVPN instance; processing, by the first PE device, the multicast Join message to generate multicast forwarding state; and forwarding, by the first PE device based at least on the multicast forwarding state, the multicast traffic.

Claim (Index 13):
The network device of  claim 12 ,\n wherein the one or more processors are configured to apply, based at least on a protocol for the multicast Join message, a policy that specifies one or more acceptable source devices for the protocol, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to accept and process the multicast Join message in response to determining a source device for the multicast Join message is one of the one more acceptable source devices for the protocol.
