Test Bed Diagram

Figure 1 shows the test bed topology that is used to validate this design. The topology emulates the following network segments:

• Enterprise data center
• Enterprise data center WAN edge device
• Campus/branch WAN edge device
• Enterprise WAN

The validated design topology includes the routers and switches shown in Table 1.

Note:

Contact your Juniper Networks representative for test results reports.

Solution Validation Goals

The goal is to validate that the MX480 and MX10003 Universal Routing platforms can interconnect EVPN-MPLS and EVPN-VXLAN services.

Data center and WAN scaling information are available in Table 1 and Table 2.

Table 2: Cumulative Traffic Flows Used During Validation

Traffic Stream	Packet Size (Bytes)	Rate
EVPN VLAN based from WAN edge to devices connected to TOR	512 Bytes	600 Mbps
EVPN VLAN bundle from WAN edge to devices connected to TOR	512 Bytes	600 Mbps
EVPN VLAN aware from WAN edge to devices connected to TOR	512 Bytes	600 Mbps

Here are the primary test goals for this JVD:

• Validate all three EVPN service models:
  • VLAN-based
  • VLAN bundle
  • VLAN aware bundle
• Validate all active multihoming scenarios within the data center.
• Validate single-homed scenarios on the WAN edge devices.
• Validate LDP based transport
• Capture failure and convergence scenarios at scale.
• Capture CPU and memory utilization.
• Identify and document product limitations and anomalies.
• Validate network performance and convergence times under these failure conditions:
  • Link failures on the WAN edge device
  • Link failures on the data center spine and leaf devices
  • Node failures
  • Process restarts–RPD, DCD, CHASSISD, and so on
  • Deactivate/activate configuration options

Note:

Contact your Juniper Networks representative for the services and feature scaling information.

Solution Validation Non-Goals

Protocols and technologies that are not included in this design include:

• Non-Collapsed Assisted Replication (AR) support. AR is configured on QFX spines. No AR support exists on MX Series Universal Routing Platforms for collapsed AR mode.
• An active-active WAN edge configuration.
• Underlay protocols in transport/core networks other than those specified in the solution validation goals.
• Overlay service validation other than what is specified in the solution validation goals section.
• EVPN-VXLAN to EVPN-VXLAN stitching or EVPN-VXLAN to VPLS stitching is not validated.
• Management and automation using Juniper Apstra.
