As more and more enterprises begin to develop multiple datacenter deployments for their enterprises, new technologies have come along to solve many common problems with basic network connectivity between datacenters. This presentation describes Ethernet VPN, a new and open standard to forward Layer-2 information between Layer-3 segments. This presentation will describe and demonstrate Ethernet VPN deployments via MPLS extensions as well as integrating with VXLAN deployments for virtualized infrastructures.
