Abstract
A network device may receive first route information from an Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) device and/or a provider backbone bridging EVPN (PBB-EVPN) device. The network device may generate second route information based on the first route information. The network device may provide the second route information to permit network traffic to be transferred between the EVPN device and the PBB-EVPN device. The network device may receive the network traffic to be transferred between the EVPN device and the PBB-EVPN device after providing the second route information. The network device may modify the network traffic to be compatible with the EVPN device or the PBB-EVPN device after receiving the network traffic. The network device may provide the network traffic between the EVPN device and the PBB-EVPN device after modifying the network traffic.
