I'm trying to understand the benefit of using VXLAN for the data plane in EVPN.
It seems like you can use MP-BGP to have the MAC address info shared for EVPN. As in you can just run EVPN over BGP and call it a day.
So why use VXLAN + BGP + EVPN, which seems to be the setup I find mostly when I google it? What does the additional VXLAN encapsulation get you?
