    Abstract: In some implementations, a provider edge device associated with a link aggregation group (LAG) may maintain, according to a link aggregation control protocol (LACP), a set of links that connect the PE device to a consumer edge device. The provider edge device may determine that the provider edge device and another provider edge device associated with the LAG are not receiving link aggregation control protocol data units (LACPDUs) from the consumer edge device. The provider edge device may cause the set of links to have a maintain LAG status, which causes the provider edge device to keep up the set of links and to cease maintaining the set of links according to the LACP. The provider edge device may route, based on causing the set of links to have the maintain LAG status, one or more packets to or from the consumer edge device via the set of links.

    Abstract: A controller device receives, from a plurality of assisted replication network devices, respective utilization information associated with the plurality of assisted replication network devices. The controller device generates, based on the respective utilization information associated with the plurality of assisted replication network devices, load balancing information for a network device associated with two or more assisted replication network devices of the plurality of assisted replication network devices, and sends, to the network device, the load balancing information. The network selects, based on the load balancing information, a particular assisted replication network device of the two or more assisted replication network devices. The network device receives a traffic flow that is to be multicast and sends the traffic flow to the particular assisted replication network device, wherein sending the traffic flow to the particular assisted replication network device permits the particular assisted replication network device to multicast the traffic flow.
