Abstract: A device may receive, from a provider edge device, a packet to be provided to one or more other provider edge devices. Some of the one or more other provider edge devices may be multi-homed with a same customer edge device as the provider edge device. The device may configure a source IP address of the packet based on a capability of an assisted replicator device after receiving the packet. The capability may relate to whether the assisted replicator device is capable of retaining the source IP address of the packet as received from the provider edge device. The device may provide the packet to at least some provider edge devices, of the one or more other provider edge devices, after configuring the source IP address of the packet.
