L2VPN VPWS Seamless with EVPN VPWS over SRv6

In a scenario where a legacy L2VPN VPWS migrate to an EVPN VPWS Over SRv6, in figure1, the Compsite PE1 sends LDP-LM message/VPWS AD routes and EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route at the same time. When the Compsite PE2 receives the LDP-LM message/VPWS AD routes and EVPN Ethernet-AD EVI routes, PE2 use the EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route highly proirity. In an EVPN VPWS over MPLS scenario, sevice provider could configure the next hop of the EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route to be the same as the source address of the LDP-LM message/VPWS AD route to identify the source. However, in the EVPN VPWS over SRv6 scenario, the next hop of the EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI is an IPv6 address, which is different from the source address of the LDP-LM message/VPWS AD route.The does not describe the corresponding solution. Therefore, a solution needs to be provided to identify that LDP-LM message/VPWS AD route and EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI routes come from the same device.

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. "PE": Provider edge device. It is a unique access point for users to access the carrier network. "AC": A physical or logical link. It is used to connect a user edge device and a PE device.

This documents defines a new extended community, to be included with per-EVI Ethernet A-D routes. The L2VPN VPWS Origin IP extended community defined here is defined as follows:

When L2VPN VPWS and EVPN-VPWS SRv6 are in the same VPN instance, PE1 advertises the EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route and LDP-LM message/VPWS AD route. The source address of pseudowire which the L2VPN VPWS estabishs can be obtained by EVPN VPWS instance. Thus the EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI routet carries the L2VPN VPWS Origin IP extended community attribute. After receiving the LDP-LM message/VPWS AD route and EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route, PE2 compares the L2VPN VPWS Origin IP attribute in the EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route with the source IP address of the LDP-LM message/VPWS AD route. If the result is same, LDP-LM message/VPWS AD route and EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route are from the same device.

In Figure 1, PE1 and PE2 procedures are as follow: 1. In compsite PE1, L2VPN VPWS and EVPN VPWS SRv6 are in the same VPN instance, the EVPN VPWS instance obtains the source address of the L2VPN VPWS. And PE1 MUST send EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route with the L2VPN VPWS Origin IP extended community attribute. 2. The compsite PE2 receives the LDP-LM message/VPWS AD route from PE1, it set up a L2VPN VPWS PW to that PE. 3. The compsite PE2 receives the EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route with L2VPN VPWS Origin IP extended commuinty attribute, PE2 gets the value of the L2VPN VPWS Origin IP extended community attribute from EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route, PE2 check the value of the L2VPN VPWS Origin IP extended community whether is same with the source IP address from the received LDP-LM message/VPWS AD route or not. If the result is same, which means EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route from the same PE, PE2 may bring the L2VPN PW operationally down, and should select EVPN Ethernet-AD per EVI route high proirity, and set the pseudowire up which is estabished by EVPN VPWS.
