VXLAN with MLAG Supports Check Pointing of ARP Entries

For VXLAN MLAG configurations, ExtremeXOS supports checkpointing of ARP entries learned on the checkpoint-able VXLAN tenant VLAN to the MLAG peer. This helps in avoiding unwanted flooding of ARP requests when the request hashes to the MLAG peers that do not have the ARP entries learned on the tunnel. It also avoids unwanted flooding when the peer that has the ARP reboots.
