Abstract
Local switching may be provided over a flexible cross-connect VLAN-aware based service. First, a failure of a first segment link of a first segment may be detected by a first network device. The first segment may have a first segment identifier and the first segment link may be connected to the first network device. Next, a route withdraw indicating the first segment identifier may be sent by the first network device in response to detecting the failure of the first segment link of the first segment. A second network device may then receive the route withdraw. Then, the second network device may forward, in response to receiving the route withdraw, traffic received from the first network device to a second segment link of the first segment connected to the second network device. The traffic may be received from the first network device over a backup connection over an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) core.
