Abstract:

   The Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) solution offers
   procedures for electing a Designated Forwarder (DF) for multihomed
   Ethernet Segments.  In this context, the Provider Edge (PE) router is
   responsible for sending Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, and Multicast
   (BUM) traffic to a multihomed device or network.  This applies in
   cases of an all-active multihomed Ethernet Segment (ES) as well as
   for BUM and unicast traffic in the case of single-active multihoming.
   While the Default Algorithm provides an efficient and automated
   mechanism for selecting the DF across Ethernet Tags within an
   Ethernet Segment, it does not provide Per-flow DF selection within an
   EVPN Instance (EVI).

   This document defines a new DF Election Algorithm that performs Per-
   flow DF selection by defining a new DF Algorithm value.
