Abstract:
A device may determine a link aggregation group (LAG) that aggregates links that includes a first group of links that connects the device to a first provider edge (PE) device and a second group of links that connects the device to the second PE device, where the first PE device and the second PE device are on an Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) and are multi-homed PE devices for the device, and where the first PE device provides a local connection to a customer edge (CE) device for the device. The device may receive a message from the first PE device indicating that the first PE device lacks a connection with the EVPN, and may send, based on the message, traffic intended for the CE device via the first PE device and traffic intended for the EVPN via the second PE device and not the first PE device.
