EVN6 is a mechanism designed to provide Ethernet connectivity to customer sites dispersed on public IPv6 networks. At the data layer, EVN6 encapsulates Ethernet frames directly in the payload of IPv6 packets, and dynamically generates the IPv6 addresses of the IPv6 header using host MAC addresses and other information, then sends them into IPv6 network for transmission. This document proposes extensions to EVPN for EVN6, including two new route types and related procedures.
