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 15):
The network device of  claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to forward, in response to a determination the first PE device is a designated forwarder for the EVPN instance for the Ethernet segment, the multicast traffic on the Ethernet segment to the edge device.
