What I did: added logic to handle when a route points to a nexthop group with mux neighbors. In this case, only one active neighbor, or the tunnel nexthop will be programmed to the ASIC.
Why I did it: having a route with multiple mux neighbors caused a data loop which lead to packet loss when different neighbors were in different states.
How I did it: added logic to update routes when a route is changed, a mux neighbor is changed, or there is a mux state change.
