i want, because of the performance, to add a evpn
there are 2 different controllers
evpn and bgp

as i understand from what i have read, the bgp is better and faster.
is that correct ?
i have only a small network with 50 VMs
thx guys

no, totally wrong ^_^

"evpn" controller is needed, in any case. It'll define the asn and peers for evpn.
It's define once, for all nodes


Now, if you want to do extra bgp tuning for each host, individually (extra bgp peer, ebgp,...), you can define extra bgp controller.

does it have performance impact ?
do i need to create for each host an bgp - like a to b, b to a, c to a and b, b to c and a ?
