VXLAN-MPLS-EVPN is an advanced technology stack that bridges traditional MPLS networks with modern VXLAN-based overlays, providing scalable and efficient Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity across data centers and service provider environments. EVPN (Ethernet VPN) serves as the unified control plane, enabling efficient MAC and IP route distribution via MP-BGP while ensuring optimal traffic forwarding and multitenancy support.
By integrating VXLAN with MPLS, service providers can extend network virtualization beyond the data center, supporting seamless workload mobility, network segmentation, and high availability.
This architecture enhances scalability, simplifies operations, and enables next-generation services such as inter-data center connectivity and cloud networking.
