What is a key capability of EVPN?

Question

Options

Explanation

EVPN (Ethernet VPN), defined in RFC 7432, is a BGP-based control plane technology designed to carry Ethernet MAC/IP reachability information and IP prefix routes. A primary and defining capability of EVPN is its support for multitenancy across both Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services within a single unified control plane. It enables operators to provide both bridged (L2) and routed (L3) connectivity to multiple tenants over the same underlay infrastructure, making it widely used in data center fabrics and service provider networks. Option A is incorrect because native third-party cloud platform integration is not an inherent EVPN feature. Option C is incorrect because establishing IPv6 overlays over IPv4 underlay is a characteristic of tunneling protocols like 6in4 or SRv6, not EVPN specifically. Option D is incorrect because real-time voice/video optimization is associated with QoS mechanisms, not EVPN.
