Abstract
Embodiments herein include systems and methods for providing a mechanism for efficient data synchronization of ARP records between two peer nodes of an SMLT system. Such techniques include modifying control information of ARP packets transmitted between peer nodes of the SMLT system to indicate originating SMLT ports. Techniques also include disabling MAC synchronization control messaging across the IST link. These techniques enable real-time synchronization ARP records for MAC learning without needing dedicated control messaging over the IST, thereby providing nodal and SMLT port failover and recovery.
