Why?

  • Large-scale AI data centers require a fabric that can scale horizontally while offering predictable overlay segmentation.
  • BGP/VTEP enables a vendor-neutral, control-plane-driven architecture for multi-tenant and AI workload isolation.
  • It supports modern underlay/overlay convergence, simplifies topology changes, and reduces operational complexity.

What?

  • Define a reference architecture for BGP-based underlay with VXLAN/VTEP overlay for leaf/spine fabrics.
  • Standardize on route distribution, VTEP learning, and EVPN control plane practices across data center switches.
  • Integrate fabric automation and telemetry so switch state, routing, and encapsulation are visible and auditable.
