A method comprising: determining , by a multi-homed customer edge, CE, router coupled by an intermediate network to a plurality of provider edge, PE, routers (12A,-b) that provide an active-active configuration for an Ethernet Virtual Private Network, EVPN, whether a packet that is to be forwarded is an operations, administration, and management, OAM, packet by matching a EtherType value or dMAC address of the packet with a defined standard; in response to determining that the packet comprises an OAM packet, replicating , by the CE router, the OAM packet for a plurality of interface links of an Ethernet segment associated with the CE router, the Ethernet segment having an Ethernet segment identifier, ESI, and each of the plurality of PE routers being configured as part of the Ethernet segment and to have the ESI; configuring forwarding instructions to the plurality of interface links of the Ethernet segment associated with the CE router to forward the replicated OAM packets; and forwarding the replicated OAM packets on the plurality of interface links of the Ethernet segment associated with CE router to the plurality of PE routers to cause the replicated OAM packets to reach each of a plurality of maintenance end points, MEPs, designated within the same maintenance associations, MA, and maintenance domains, MD, via the plurality of PE routers wherein an MD is established specifying that PE routers of a given Ethernet segment support connectivity fault management, CFM, maintenance operations and are configured with an MD identifier that uniquely identifies a particular MD, such as the MD identifier configured on CE routers to detect connectivity failure on each of the plurality of interface links, wherein connectivity failure is detected based on a loss of received connectivity check messages, CCMs. determining , by a multi-homed customer edge, CE, router coupled by an intermediate network to a plurality of provider edge, PE, routers (12A,-b) that provide an active-active configuration for an Ethernet Virtual Private Network, EVPN, whether a packet that is to be forwarded is an operations, administration, and management, OAM, packet by matching a EtherType value or dMAC address of the packet with a defined standard; in response to determining that the packet comprises an OAM packet, replicating , by the CE router, the OAM packet for a plurality of interface links of an Ethernet segment associated with the CE router, the Ethernet segment having an Ethernet segment identifier, ESI, and each of the plurality of PE routers being configured as part of the Ethernet segment and to have the ESI; configuring forwarding instructions to the plurality of interface links of the Ethernet segment associated with the CE router to forward the replicated OAM packets; and forwarding the replicated OAM packets on the plurality of interface links of the Ethernet segment associated with CE router to the plurality of PE routers to cause the replicated OAM packets to reach each of a plurality of maintenance end points, MEPs, designated within the same maintenance associations, MA, and maintenance domains, MD, via the plurality of PE routers wherein an MD is established specifying that PE routers of a given Ethernet segment support connectivity fault management, CFM, maintenance operations and are configured with an MD identifier that uniquely identifies a particular MD, such as the MD identifier configured on CE routers to detect connectivity failure on each of the plurality of interface links, wherein connectivity failure is detected based on a loss of received connectivity check messages, CCMs. <EOS>
