Claim 10:
11. A device, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, to:
determine that a Media Access Control Security (MACsec) session has been established on a first high-bandwidth link and a second high-bandwidth link of a link aggregation group (LAG),
wherein the LAG combines a first plurality of low-bandwidth links to form the first high-bandwidth link and a second plurality of low-bandwidth links to create the second high-bandwidth link, and
wherein the first high-bandwidth link has a higher bandwidth than each of the first plurality of low-bandwidth links and the second high-bandwidth link has a higher bandwidth than each of the second plurality of low-bandwidth links;

determine that the first high-bandwidth link has flapped and/or terminated; and
send, based on determining that the first high-bandwidth link has flapped and/or terminated, or receiving traffic, formatted for transmission via the MACsec session, via the second high-bandwidth link and not the first high-bandwidth link.
