FIGURE 27 MCT data flow - unicast traffic from CCEP

Broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic from a client through a CEP

1. Traffic originates at the client and enters one of the MCT cluster devices through a CEP.
2. As shown in the following figure, the traffic is sent to the peer cluster device through the ICL link and

is also sent to any local CCEPs and CEPs. Once traffic is received on the peer cluster device, it will
be sent to its local CEPs.

3. Traffic does not pass back down to the client through the CCEP.
