Abstract: Example method includes: defining, by a network device, a source virtual local area network (VLAN), wherein the source VLAN is common for at least a first switch and a second switch, and wherein the source VLAN is dedicated to a particular link between the first switch and the second switch; and using an Internet Protocol (IP) address corresponding to the defined source VLAN as a source address for peer-to-peer traffic transmitted between the first switch and the second switch, wherein no peer-to-peer traffic between the first switch and the second switch is transmitted over a link other than the particular link.

Abstract: A method is disclosed comprising, checking, at a first node, for receipt of an advertisement message from a second node within an advertisement time interval (102), wherein the first node acts as a backup for the second node in a network. The method further comprises, in response to not receiving the advertisement message within the advertisement time interval (104), sending a probe message to the second node (106) and checking for a response to the probe message from the second node (108).
