Fast convergence for MAC mobility
A first provider edge device may receive device information from a second provider edge device included in an Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN). The device information may identify a media access control (MAC) address and may indicate that the device is connected to the second provider edge device. The first provider edge device may receive data transmitted by the device and may determine, based on information included in the data, that the device has moved from the second provider edge device to the first provider edge device. The first provider edge device may generate a data packet including mobility information indicating that the device has moved to the first provider edge device. The first provider edge device may transmit, via a data plane of the EVPN, the data packet to the second provider edge device to permit the second provider edge device to update routing information for the device.
