Systems and methods for maintaining consistency between interfaces of locally sourced packets

A method, comprising:

• identifying a first path and a second path for forwarding an IP packet to a destination associated with a destination address;
• determining that the first path is associated with a private network and the second path is associated with a public network;
• determining, in response to determining that the first path is associated with the private network and the second path is associated with the public network, a source interface associated with the IP packet;
• determining that the source interface matches an egress interface associated with the first path;
• and
• communicating the IP packet based on the first path to the destination using the egress interface.

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a first path and a second path for forwarding an IP packet to a destination associated with a destination address;
• determining that the first path is associated with a private network and the second path is associated with a public network;
• determining, in response to determining that the first path is associated with the private network and the second path is associated with the public network, a source interface associated with the IP packet;
• determining that the source interface matches an egress interface associated with the first path;
• and
• communicating the IP packet based on the first path to the destination using the egress interface.
