nu11 3 Posted December 14, 2015 I haven't got a chance to test it yet, but it looks really impressive! This is the first free software router (that I'm aware of) which supports eVPNs! For exmaple - cisco's IOS-XRv doesn't have a data plane for VPLS, EoMPLS, AToM, EVPNs. Cisco's CSR1000V doesn't support EVPNs eiher. I'm really eager to test it myself. Great work guys!
