Hi John The default DDoS values on QFX5k for EVPN-VXLAN is way too low. I recommend these values + very tight storm-control on each applicable port.
RSVP and LDP are not used but share the same queue as BGP so you will see strange triggers if you omit these. set system ddos-protection protocols rsvp aggregate bandwidth 10000 set system ddos-protection protocols rsvp aggregate burst 1000 set system ddos-protection protocols ldp aggregate bandwidth 10000 set system ddos-protection protocols ldp aggregate burst 1000 set system ddos-protection protocols bgp aggregate bandwidth 10000 set system ddos-protection protocols bgp aggregate burst 1000 set system ddos-protection protocols arp aggregate bandwidth 50000 set system ddos-protection protocols arp aggregate burst 5000 set system ddos-protection protocols vxlan aggregate bandwidth 50000 set system ddos-protection protocols vxlan aggregate burst 5000 The reason you're seeing VXLAN violation is because of EVPN arp/nd suppression. Have a look at the VXLAN queue here: Detailed information about DDOS queues on QFX5K switches (juniper.net) <https://supportportal.juniper.net/s/article/Detailed-information-about-DDOS-queues-on-QFX5K-switches?language=en_US> Every single ARP/ND packet is proxied by the QFX. If you have an ARP storm the VXLAN DDoS will kick in and rate limit this. If this is sustained, arp cache will timeout on each client and eventually break connectivity. You mitigate this by having a very tight storm-control on each L2 interface. We use 1000kbps which translates roughly into 2000pps ARP set forwarding-options storm-control-profiles sc-1000kbps all bandwidth-level 1000 set forwarding-options storm-control enhanced Because storm-control is distributed and mitigated on each port, while the DDoS is aggregated to the RE, this combo works fine and VXLAN is never triggered. Hope this helps.
