Whether you're streaming your favourite show, sending an email, or browsing the web, Ethernet is quietly working behind the scenes to make it happen. At its core, Ethernet is a way to transfer data between devices. It uses physical cables (like the ones you plug into your computer or router) to create a stable and reliable connection. This is different from Wi-Fi, which uses wireless signals to connect devices. Ethernet cables are often preferred for tasks that need fast and consistent speeds, like gaming, video conferencing, or downloading large files. One of the best things about Ethernet is its simplicity. You plug in a cable, and your device is instantly connected to the netw...

EVPN is next generation single control plane protocol, that will provide different flavours like E-Line, E-Lan, E-Tree , L3-Vpn interconnect. EVPN at the end of the day it just BGP. That is designed to advertise Mac addresses & IP Addresses back and forth. EVPN must behave and do advertisements in certain ways in certain situations. Such that it does not create any problems. Such that it allows things like multi-pathing, fast failover and no loops. Very important concept & theories to prevent loops. Once again, it's just IBGP. But what it really comes down to are the packet types because there are many different advertisements within EVPN. And there are different route types very want to pay attention. So, buckle up this is going to be an interesting topic. There are total 5 EVPN Route Types that you must know and those are. 1) Ethernet auto-discovery route This route type is only applicable to multi homing cases and not for single homing. It if further divided into two sec...
