When using EVPN, prefer using "set protocols evpn multicast-mode
ingress-replication". Using "set vlans XXX vxlan
ingress-node-replication" will send replicated packets to all VTEP,
including the ones not advertising the Type 3 route. See
<https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/example/evpn-vxlan-collapsed-topology.html>:

In turn, this may exhaust the resources of the Broadcom
chipset (Trident2 or Trident2+) if you have a lot of VLANs and/or a lot
of VTEPs.
