and the exchange of IP Prefixes between the NVEs in the control and the exchange of IP Prefixes between the NVEs in the control
plane. EVPN uses RT-2 and RT-5 routes for the exchange of host IP plane. EVPN uses RT-2 and RT-5 routes for the exchange of host IP
routes (in the case of RT-2 and RT-5) and IP Prefixes (RT-5s) of any routes (in the case of RT-2 and RT-5) and IP Prefixes (RT-5s) of any
length. As an example, in Figure 3, NVE2 needs to advertise TS3's length. As an example, in Figure 3, NVE2 needs to advertise TS3's
host route and/or TS3's subnet, so that the IP lookup on NVE1's IP- host route and/or TS3's subnet, so that the IP lookup on NVE1's IP-

[INTER-SUBNET] specifies the use of RT-2s for the advertisement of [INTER-SUBNET] specifies the use of RT-2s for the advertisement of
host routes. Section 4.4.1 in [IP-PREFIX] specifies the use of RT-5s host routes. Section 4.4.1 in [IP-PREFIX] specifies the use of RT-5s
for the advertisement of IP Prefixes in an "Interface-less IP-VRF-to- for the advertisement of IP Prefixes in an "Interface-less IP-VRF-to-
IP-VRF Model". IP-VRF Model". The Symmetric model for host routes can be implemented
following either approach:
a. [INTER-SUBNET] uses RT-2s to convey the information to populate
L2, ARP/ND and L3 FIB tables in the remote NVE. For instance, in
Figure 3, NVE2 would advertise a RT-2 with TS3's IP and MAC
addresses, and including two labels/VNIs: a label-3/VNI-3 that
identifies BD3 for MAC lookup (that would be used for L2 traffic
in case NVE1 was attached to BD3 too) and a label-1/VNI-1 that
identifies the IP-VRF for IP lookup (and will be used for L3
traffic). NVE1 imports the RT-2 and installs TS3's IP in the IP-
VRF route table with label-1/VNI-1. Traffic from e.g., TS2 to TS3,
will be encapsulated with label-1/VNI-1 and forwarded to NVE2.
b. [IP-PREFIX] uses RT-2s to convey the information to populate the
L2 FIB and ARP/ND tables, and RT-5s to populate the IP-VRF L3 FIB
table. For instance, in Figure 3, NVE2 would advertise a RT-2
including TS3's MAC and IP addresses with a single label-3/VNI-3.
In this example, this RT-2 wouldn't be imported by NVE1 because
NVE1 is not attached to BD3. In addition, NVE2 would advertise a
RT-5 with TS3's IP address and label-1/VNI-1. This RT-5 would be
imported by NVE1's IP-VRF and the host route installed in the L3
FIB associated to label-1/VNI-1. Traffic from TS2 to TS3 would be
encapsulated with label-1/VNI-1.
