 Cisco EVC Building Blocks
Cisco EVC Uses the Following Concepts:
 Ethernet Flow Point (EFP): Transport-agnostic abstraction
of an Ethernet service.
 Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC): Device local object
(container) for network-wide service parameters. Not to be
confused with MEF EVC.
 Bridge Domain (BD): Ethernet Broadcast Domain local
to a device.

 VLAN bridge has 1:1 mapping between VLAN and internal

Broadcast Domain.
VLAN has global per-device significance
 EVC bridge decouples VLAN from Broadcast Domain
VLAN treated as encapsulation on a wire
VLAN on a wire mapped to internal Bridge Domain via EFPs
Net result: per-port VLAN significance

EFPs Enable Flexible Mapping of Frames into Services Based on:
 VLAN tags

Unique or multiple values (ranges/lists) s-vlan 30

 Untagged traffic s-vlan 30, c-vlan any

 Unclassified traffic (default) s-vlan 20

Loose Match Classification Rule
Cisco EVC Follows a „Loose Match‟ Classification Model:
Unspecified Fields Are Treated as Wildcard.
 „encap dot1q 10‟ matches any frame with outer tag equal to 10:

10

10 50

 „encap dot1q 10 sec 50‟ matches any frame with outer-most tag as
10 and second tag as 50

10 50

Symmetric Translations
Egress: Push VLAN
Ingress: Pop VLAN

DA SA 20 DA SA 25 20

 Ingress VLAN manipulations should be the transpose of

egress VLAN manipulations to guarantee symmetric flows
on links.
If adding a VLAN tag on ingress, should remove that tag on egress
If removing a VLAN tag on ingress, should add that tag on egress
If translating 1 or 2 tags on ingress, should translate back on egress
