EVPN is (now) a well know Service Framework and is widely used as a replacement for VPLS ELAN Services and even some IP-VPN Services.
EVPN was able to also do P2P ELINE Style services for quite some time, but with the finalization of RFC9744 it got some very interesting capabilities that can especially help aggregation networks to reduce scaling problems.
The talk will give a very brief primer on how the EVPN Service Framework is being setup to allow for easy extension, focuses on the Flex Part of the new extension and will give some examples on how this impacts some (near to) real world scenarios.
