    摘要: Techniques are described for providing fast convergence in the event of a link failure in an all-active multi-homed Ethernet virtual private network. A provide edge (PE) network device may pre-configure an interface next hop and secondary next hops. The secondary next hops may be logical links to other PE network devices in the same Ethernet segment. In the event of a link failure in the interface next hop between the PE network device and a customer edge (CE) network device, the PE network device may be configured to forward data traffic to the CE network device using the secondary next hops. In the event of a link failure between the PE network device and a core network, the PE network device may be configured to send an out-of-service message to the CE network device that instructs the CE network device to stop sending traffic to the PE network device.

    摘要: The disclosed method may include (1) identifying a customer edge router that is multi-homed to a provider edge router and another provider edge router, (2) determining, by the provider edge router, that the other provider edge router has identified an Internet Protocol address of the customer edge router by way of an Address Resolution Protocol, (3) learning, by the provider edge router, the Internet Protocol address of the customer edge router from the other provider edge router, and then (4) advertising, by the provider edge router to at least one gateway of at least one other customer edge router, a route that facilitates communication with the customer edge router via the provider edge router based at least in part on the Internet Protocol address of the customer edge router. Various other methods, systems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.

    摘要: A device may receive, from a first device associated with a first LAN, network traffic destined for a second LAN. The device may provide the first LAN with access to a core network. The device may not provide the second LAN with access to the core network. The device may identify, based on the network traffic, a Layer 3 address associated with a second device. The second device may be associated with the second LAN. The device may determine that the first device is categorized as a leaf device within an Ethernet Tree provided by the device. The device may determine, based on the Layer 3 address, that the second device is categorized as a leaf device within the Ethernet Tree. The device may drop the network traffic based on determining that the first device and the second device are categorized as leaf devices within the Ethernet Tree.
