Support for new streams during VLTi failure
If the VLTi fails, MAC addresses that are learned after the failure are not synchronized with VLT peers. Thus, the VLTi failure leads to
continuous flooding of traffic instead of unicast.
If the VLTi links fail, MAC and ARP synchronization does not happen. As a result, the system floods L2 packets and drops L3 packets.
For example, in the following figure, after the VLTi is down, VLT peer1 learns the MAC address of Host 2:
Because the VLTi link is down, VLT Peer 2 is not synchronized with the MAC address of Host 2 . If the traffic from Host 1 is sent to VLT
Peer 2, then VLT Peer 2 floods the traffic.
