What is VXLAN/EVPN?
VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) is a network virtualization technology that extends Layer 2 networks over Layer 3 infrastructure. EVPN (Ethernet VPN) is a control plane protocol used with VXLAN to provide efficient and scalable multi-tenant Layer 2 VPN services. VXLAN/EVPN is commonly used in data centers to create virtual networks, enabling workload mobility and network segmentation.
