Secure EVPN — draft-ietf-bess-secure-evpn#
IETF 123 (Madrid) digest Program Core pick Madrid · 19–25 July 2025
- Tier: Core
- Why: EVPN underpins most modern DC and DCI fabrics; adding a security/encryption story to it closes a gap that today usually gets papered over with separate IPsec. Worth tracking if you care about encrypted fabric and DCI.
- What: A WG-adopted BESS draft addressing security for EVPN. (from abstract only — the program text for this entry was limited to its title/identifier)
- How: Not determinable from the program text beyond that it targets EVPN; treat specifics as unconfirmed.
- Where applicable: EVPN-based fabrics and DCI. Flagging explicitly that this write-up is title-level only — read the draft before relying on mechanism details.
