Ethernet Virtual Network - EVPN
-------------------------------
Note: When using EVPN features and if you have a large number of hosts, make
sure to adjust the size of the arp neighbor cache to avoid neighbor table
overflow and/or excessive garbage collection. On Linux, the size of the table
and garbage collection frequency can be controlled via the following
sysctl configurations:
.. code-block:: shell

net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Typically, the SVI IP address is reused on VTEPs across multiple racks. However,
if you have unique SVI IP addresses want those to be reachable you can enable the
advertise-svi-ip option. This option advertises the SVI IP/MAC address as a type-2
route and eliminates the need for any flooding over VXLAN to reach the IP from a
remote VTEP.
