Ethernet VPN (EVPN) networks normally require some measure of redundancy to reduce or eliminate the impact of outages and maintenance. RFC7432 describes four types of route to be exchanged through EVPN, with a built-in multihoming mechanism for redundancy. Prior to EOS 4.22.0F, MLAG was available as a redundancy option for EVPN with VXLAN, but not multihoming. EVPN multihoming is a multi-vendor standards-based redundancy solution that does not require a dedicated peer link and allows for more flexible configurations than MLAG, supporting peering on a per interface level rather than a per device level. It also supports a mass withdrawal mechanism to minimize traffic loss when a link goes down.
