Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure provide methods for avoiding a packet bounce event in a virtual port channel (VPC). A method of the technology can include steps for detecting a link failure event (e.g., between a first network device and a destination node), and receiving a data packet addressed to the destination node. In some implementations, the method can additionally include steps for rewriting encapsulation information of the first data packet. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.
