Abstract
A provider edge device, capable of accessing a first type of memory and a second type of memory, may determine a network address associated with a customer edge device. The provider edge device may determine whether the customer edge device is categorized as a leaf device in an Ethernet Tree service provided by the provider edge device. The provider edge device may selectively store the network address in the first type of memory or the second type of memory based on determining whether the customer edge device is categorized as a leaf device in the Ethernet Tree service.
