In data centers and cloud environments, it is often necessary to extend LAN domains over larger spatial distances. This allows backup and migration scenarios to be implemented with little effort. Ethernet services have also established a firm position in the service provider environment. Traditional LAN and MPLS-based solutions suffer from scalability problems and non-deterministic traffic management that is difficult to influence. In addition, the proven technologies fail to provide redundant customer connections due to excessive complexity. Ethernet VPN with BGP can be seen as a consistent further development of the proven BGP and MPLS-based Layer 3 services based on different transport media. The ability to automatically interconnect many locations using autodiscovery mechanisms and to proactively exchange accessible MAC and IP addresses between edge routers means that this innovative approach has many advantages over the tried and tested technologies. The role of BGP and the specifics of the transport media MPLS, Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) and VXLAN are studied in detail in the training course. A test environment offers the opportunity to put what has been learned into practice and helps to gain a better understanding of the interrelationships.
