EVPN is an IETF technology per RFC7432 that uses a new BGP address family and allows VPLS services to be operated as IP-VPNs, where the MAC addresses and the information to setup the flooding trees are distributed by BGP. The EVPN VXLAN connections, VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP), uses a connection specific OAM Protocol for on demand connectivity verification. This connection specific OAM tool, VXLAN Ping, is described in the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Layer 2 Services and EVPN Guide: VLL, VPLS, PBB, and EVPN, within the VXLAN Section.
