This talk will focus on VXLAN and MP-BGP EVPN in datacenter environments. It will analyze some of the inner workings and interactions between all the different components using Wireshark and will hopefully provide attendees with a better understanding of how these different pieces of technology work altogether. It will also give some troubleshooting tips for VXLAN EVPN. The discussion will first cover foundational concepts (VXLAN encapsulation, EVPN route types, L3VNI/L2VNI...) and get into more advanced topics (BGP unnumbered, RTs, MLAG/MH interactions, TE).
