Examples described herein relate to synchronization of distributed firewall tables using an EVPN route type. Examples include detecting an update to a firewall table at a network device and generating a control packet indicating that update. The control packet is consistent with an EVPN route type, which is a format to incorporate changes to firewall rules of the firewall table. Examples include advertising the control packet, which specifies the update to neighboring network devices. A neighboring network device may receive the advertised control packet and synchronize a respective firewall table with the update based on a local policy.
