\n\nIn an EVPN-MPLS scenario, routes learned from remote multi-homed Provider Edge (PE) devices are programmed as ESI routes. Due to a logic issue in the l2ald memory management, memory allocated for these routes is not released when there is churn for these routes. As a result, memory leaks in the l2ald process which will ultimately lead to a crash and restart of l2ald.

Use the following command to monitor the memory consumption by l2ald:

user@device> show system process extensive | match \"PID|l2ald\" \n\n
