[ovs-discuss] VXLAN - MAC address learning/propagation through EVPN/FRR

Hello Everybody,

I'm using OVS with KVM and I'm trying to get virtual machines to communicate across hosts (all running OVS/KVM) through VXLAN tunnels. I'm running the VTEP emulator available with OVS (that automatically creates the interface "vxlan_sys_4789") and the challenge at the moment is to get the information avaiable in OVS fdb into EVPN in order to use FRR/BGP as control plane for MAC address learning across the various hosts. The entire network is a fully routed layer 3 network and all the nodes (hosts and switches) are running FRR.

Does anybody know if it's possible to feed the fdb information from OVS into EVPN with FRR?

Thanks in advance
Nicola Bucci
