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 12):
A network device operable as a first provider edge (PE) device of a layer 3 network, comprising:\n one or more processors operably coupled to a memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to receive 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, wherein the one or more processors are configured to receive a multicast Join message for multicast traffic, the multicast Join message identifying a second PE device that also participates in the EVPN instance, wherein the one or more processors are configured to process the multicast Join message to generate multicast forwarding state, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to forward, based at least on the multicast forwarding state, the multicast traffic.
