EVPN Convergence time in a Multi home setup is about 20 seconds. It's too slow.
I have one CE connected to two PE1 and PE1.
PE1 and PE1 are connected to the MPLS core. From MPLS core there is another PE3. I'm running an 10G RFCtest between the Customer 1 device and Customer 2 device.
I'm testing resiliency, and see how fast it can converge. Currently, both PEs are load balancing the traffic. When I reload PE1, PE2 start to pass all the traffic. The problem is that when PE2 is about to reestablish the BGP neighborship with the RRs PE1 stops passing traffic. Once PE2 finally reestablish BGP peers with the router reflectors, traffic starts to pass normally. I'm read a tons of documents about how to improve the convergence time. the only one that made sense to me is the "bgp graceful-restart"
This is an ALL active MH secenario. With an ethernet segment. I'm about to lab this with with the startup cost-in command to see if will help. my question is are there any good articles that talk about SPECIFICALLY ALL ACTIVE MULTIHOME WITH BUNDLE scenerio that talks about improving the convergence time. or a configuration that you will recommend. I read

I found the solution. Once I applied the core-isolation-group the convergence time dropped to ms

we are facing the convergence issue during the acces ring failure. its taking 300 seconds to switch the traffic.

300 se c is default MAC flush timer so it looks some TCN which should be generated upon your convergence trigger are not traveling through.
Can you pls provide more details of:
- Your topology
- HW/SW used
- Full config from each PE involved
- Describe the trigger you do for convergence
- Describe which flows (Source and Destination) are affected
Thx

Hi,
pls find the config

Hi Can some one help us to reduce the convergence time
