It depends on what type of L2VPN we are talking about. If we are talking about VPLS (where we learn from the data path) changes are needed in order to make it work with segment routing. Basically, the VC label must be assigned and used in such a way that it indicates not only the service for the packet, but also the PE from which it originated. That is because with SR, we would have lost the path (PW) that the packet used to get to the destination PE. If we are talking about BGP E-VPN where data path learning is not used, then it should work with segment routing without any changes.

Hi, In most well designed IP routing stacks the way to get to a labeled (tunneled) next hop is decoupled from a service, so if a service requires such next hop it is upto (usually RIB) to return one (best, multiple might exist) which would be used for forwarding. If it is a Segment Routed one so it will then be used.

Outer label is going to be SR label and inner label is your L2VPN label. Cheers, -Mohan On Sun, Sep 20, 2015 at 3:23 PM, Jason Lixfeld <jason () lixfeld ca> wrote:Hello! I've been doing some reading recently on Segment Routing. By all accounts, it seems that the (only?) implementation for SR supports L3VPN. Am I dumb and just missing the L2VPN bits, or is L3VPN simply the extent of the first generation? Sent from my iPhone
