In an MLAG setup, routing on a switch (MLAG peer) is possible using its own bridge/system MAC, VARP MAC or VRRP MAC. When a peer receives an IP packet with destination MAC set to one of the aforementioned MACs, the packet gets routed if the hardware has enough information to route the packet. Before introducing this feature, if the destination MAC is peer’s bridge MAC, the packet is L2 bridged on the peer-link and the routing takes place on the peer. This behavior to use the peer-link to bridge the L3 traffic to the peer is undesirable especially when the MLAG peers can route the packets themselves.

Nexthop group counters provide the ability to count packets and bytes associated with each tunnel nexthop, irrespective of the number of times it appears in one or more nexthop groups. In other words, if a nexthop group entry shares a tunnel resource with another entry, they will also share the same counter.
