Hoi folks,
I've started to toy with VPP and eVPN/VxLAN, and took a look at the
evpn branch from a few years ago.
For my network, I'll need the OSPFv3 'unnumbered' features we built,
so I thought I'd ask - would it be possible to rebase the evpn branch ?
I've taken a stab at it (see attached patch) by replaying the 9
commits on top if HEAD (f1a7229d-evpn.diff).
I had been tinkering with the same, Ondrej said to use the oz-evpn
branch vs the evpn branch. I was able to get that going with a couple
of extra bridge(8) commands (see the "EPVN MPLS label parsing error"
thread).
I have a few further changes, notably a new 'vpp protocol' to handle
communication with the VPP dataplane for eVPN/VxLAN (and possibly
later, GENEVE and MPLS).
Before I get too far down the rabbit hole though, I'm also wondering:
is releasing eVPN in the cards?
The oz-evpn thread talks directly with the linux bridge subsystem to
handle the VxLAN interface/VNI matching, so don't know if that will suit
what you want to do, but I'm guessing a tweak or 5 would work.
groet,
Pim
