Abstract
Techniques for EVPN Host Routed Bridging (HRB) and EVPN cloud-native data center with Host Routed Bridging (HRB) are described. A host computing device of a data center includes one or more containerized user-level applications. A cloud native virtual router is configured for dynamic deployment by the data center application orchestration engine and operable in a user space of the host computing device. Processing circuitry is configured for execution of the containerized user-level applications and the cloud native virtual router. The cloud native virtual router comprises a containerized routing protocol process configured to operate as a control plane, and a data plane for the containerized router. The data plane is configured to operate an ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) encapsulation/decapsulation data path of an overlay network for communicating layer two (L2) network traffic of the containerized user applications over a switch fabric of the data center.
