- Topology looks like this:
10.0.0.1 20.0.0.1 [host-1] --- [leaf-1] ---- [Spine 1] ---- [Leaf-2] ---- [Host-2]
- Traffic flows from Host-1 toward Host-2.
- Flood pings are being sent on the same vlan.
- 90% of the icmp traffic is getting dropped on the way.
- Regular pings work well.
- Other type of traffic appear to work well.
- EVPN type 2 routes from each of the hosts are seen correctly on the spines.
- No L1 issues on any of the transit links.
MTU configuration was missing on a few leaf nodes across the network. Adding the statement on the leaf and spine devices resolved the packet drops.If you have a similar scenario make sure to check MTU hop by hop on every device along the path.
