Abstract: Techniques are described for providing aliasing in an active-active multi-homed Provider Backbone Bridging Ethernet Virtual Private Network (PBB-EVPN) network. For example, PE devices of a multi-homed Ethernet segment may send packets received from the PBB-EVPN core network over the Ethernet segment to the customer device even if the receiving PE device has not learned the source MAC address of the CE device. In particular, the PE devices coupled to the multi-homed Ethernet segment may apply aliasing techniques in which a PE device performs a lookup of a BMAC address and the Customer Virtual Local Area Network (C-VLAN), instead of a lookup of a destination MAC address, to determine the path to send the data traffic.

Abstract: A device may include one or more processors. The device may receive an instruction identifying a set of objects to be generated by a kernel associated with the device. The kernel may generate the set of objects based on receiving information identifying a corresponding set of write operations. The device may provide a first message to cause the kernel to perform first operations corresponding to a first subset of objects of the set of objects. The device may receive one or more notifications indicating whether each operation, of the first operations, was successfully performed. The device may determine, based on whether each operation was successfully performed, a quantity of objects to include in a second subset of objects, of the set of objects. The device may provide a second message to cause the kernel to perform second operations corresponding to the second subset of objects.
