Explanation

EVPN Type 1 Ethernet Auto-Discovery per Ethernet Segment routes provide the mass-withdraw mechanism for a failure of connectivity to a multihomed Ethernet segment. When VTEP D loses its link to that segment, it withdraws its Type 1 route; remote VTEPs such as E update forwarding for the MAC addresses associated with that Ethernet segment without waiting for individual Type 2 MAC/IP withdrawals. RFC 7432, Section 8.2
