EVPN-VXLAN Why is it so complicated?

This is a short discussion about why EVPN-VXLAN is as it is and advice on how to get to grips with this technology.
Please note: This is not a tutorial, that's to come.

The best video that clears up confusion with all these terminology and technology stack. Now I pretty much understand, that EVPN is just a successor of MPLS based L2VPN/L3VPN and that VXLAN can work on itself by just manual setup or multicast flood-and-learn. Thanks, much appreciated!

brilliant

[@ruellerz]

I should prob learn this for fun..I'm not exposed to these type of technologies yet but it could open some doors.

[@nhntechroom]

Concept is always important tks for the video..did you try type5 evpn on ArubaCX lab image or Hardware

[@null_zero]

Thanks, I’ve been using hardware, 6300s, and I’ve observed RT-5s. Not done any in-depth work with traffic flows to prefixes only, rather than hosts, but that is coming.

[@ricardoduarte9927]

Do you see EVPN+VXLAN as a good fit for campus access + aggregation vs a standard topology?

[@ruellerz]

East West is the focus with Spine leaf topology. I'd think more data center focused.

[@atexnik]

Not really. It is more DC oriented, where you have horizontal traffic going back and forth between numerous virtual machines.

[@diogodds]

Nice video, but you got to slow down a bit .. you went a mile a minute

[@null_zero]

Thanks, tt was a quick-fire talk to discuss how the history of EVPN can inform how one learns the technology. The aim isn't to delve into the details but cover the discussion points at a high level. More in-depth tutorials are coming in the future.

Slowing the video down to .75 helps
