    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 network device may receive, from an endpoint device, a first message that includes first endpoint identification information. The network device may be connected to the endpoint device via a plurality of links. The network device may receive, from another network device, a second message that includes second endpoint identification information. The network device may determine whether the first endpoint identification information corresponds to the second endpoint identification information. The network device may cause, based on determining whether the first endpoint identification information corresponds to the second endpoint identification information, a state of the plurality of links to be maintained or changed.
