Tag :: Selective ARP

Selective ARP install is the selective programming of remote ARPs in hardware as received through EVPN Type 2 MAC-IP routes in an EVPN VXLAN/ MPLS Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) scenario. Instead of installing every MAC+IP binding received from EVPN into the hardware, the switch installs them only when there is routed traffic destined to the IP, thereby saving TCAM space on the switch. However, there is a tradeoff as there is an initial one-time latency to install the hardware TCAM entry on the first flow of routed traffic to the IP.
