All PEs as DF
The Designated forwarder concept is leveraged to prevent looping of
BUM traffic into tenant network sourced across NVO fabric for
multihoming deployments. [RFC7432] defines a preliminary approach to
select the DF for an ES,VLAN or ES,Vlan Group, panning across
multiple NVE's. [RFC8584] makes the election logic more robust and
fine grained by inculcating fair election of DF handling most of the
prevalent use-cases. This document presents a deployment problem and
a corresponding solution which cannot be easily resolve by rules
mentioned in [RFC7432] and [RFC8584]. It involves redundant firewall
deployment on disparate overlay sites connected over WAN. The
requirement is to allow reachability, ONLY, to the local firewall,
unless there is an outage. In case of outage the reachability can be
extended to remote site's firewall over WAN.
