That combination is what we refer to as \"PBB-EVPN.\" Single-Active multihoming and per Service Instance Identifier (I-SID) load-balancing can be provided to access devices and aggregation networks. In order to speed up the network convergence in case of failures on Single-Active multihomed Ethernet Segments (ESs), PBB-EVPN defines a flush mechanism for Customer MACs (C-MACs) called \"C-MAC flush\" that works for different Ethernet Segment Backbone MAC (B-MAC) address allocation models. This document complements those C-MAC flush procedures for cases in which no PBB-EVPN ESs are defined (i.e., the attachment circuit is associated with a zero Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI)) and the C-MAC flush requires I-SID-level granularity.", "pub_date": "March 2024", "keywords": [], "obsoletes": [], "obsoleted_by": [], "updates": [], "updated_by": [], "see_also": [], "doi": "10.17487/RFC9541", "errata_url": null }
