Implementation and improvement of an algorithm used to avoid transient loops in OSPF routers

· 2008

Abstract

Transient loops occur in IP networks using link state routing protocols like OSPF or IS-IS during their convergence due to topology changes. They can be avoided by applying a sequence of metric (the state of link) on the changed link so that the networks can adapt step by step with the changes. An algorithm is used to minimize the sequence. We propose in this works, an alternative algorithm that can produce faster a less optimized sequence.
