A provider edge (PE) device may receive traffic associated with one or more services, wherein the traffic includes a plurality of packets, and may determine, based on the plurality of packets, one or more packets respectively associated with each service of the one or more services. The PE device may determine, based on the one or more packets respectively associated with each service of the one or more services, a respective status of each of the one or more services. The PE device may generate type-length-value (TLV) data that indicates the respective status of each of the one or more services and may cause the TLV data to be added to a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) packet. The PE device may send the LLDP packet that includes the added TLV data to a customer edge (CE) device.
