Description
A designated forwarder (DF) is required when customer edge devices (CEs) are multihomed to more than one provider edge (PE) device. Without a designated forwarder, multihomed hosts would receive duplicate packets. Designated forwarders are chosen for an Ethernet segment identifier (ESI) based on type 4 route advertisements.
