VXLAN EVPN - Control Planes

Hi Guys,

Im trying to lab a Cisco nexus (NX-OSv) VXLAN EVPN topology to get my head around this architecture.

I know that we are using VXLAN as the data-plane transport but I am having confusion with the control plane. Is multicast required if we are using MP-BGP control plane ? I am lookoing at various blogs and some are configuring with multicast and MP-BGP and some are just using MP-BGP.

Some have peerings in the ipv4 unicast address family, some do not - Im confused on the correct way to do this

Can anyone shed any light on this and provide any links to labs / blogs that are doing this the "correct" way from a Cisco perspective...

Cheers
