  Working with PBB-EVPN
Builds a forwarding table from the received remote BGP advertisements, associating remote 
B-MAC addresses with remote PE IP addresses.
PBB-EVPN scales well for large network with millions of customer MAC addresses by constraining 
customer MAC address in access. Only B-MAC addresses are advertised in core, making the number of 
BGP routes exchanged manageable.
