In order to minimize the flooding of ARP and ND messages in the VXLAN network, EVPN includes provisions [1] that allow participating VTEPs to suppress such messages in case they know the MAC-IP binding and can reply on behalf of the remote host. In Linux, the above is implemented in the bridge driver using a per-port option called "neigh_suppress" that was added in kernel version 4.15.
