This talk/tutorial will be about Multicast in the EVPN World. This is a developing area and lot of innovations are happening in IETF in terms of adding new route types and defining new procedures to handle multicast efficiently. This topic applies to both, Data Center as well as Service Provider Edge domains. With Data Center Fabric the typical data plane used is VXLAN whereas with Service Providers we are looking at MPLS. Since the control plane (EVPN), is the same for both the encapsulations it will be easy to highlight efficiencies of this developing technology in multiple domains. Data Centers and Service Providers are where active deployment is happening with this technology, we will also be covering how this feature can be used in Metro and Telco Cloud environments. The talk/tutorial will be divided into two parts; the first part will provide an introduction to the technical aspects of EVPN Route Types 7,8 & 6, these map to IGMP Join, Leave and Selective Tunnels respectively. The second part will shift focus to the Data Center and the efficiencies this technology will bring to the domains.
