Optimizing the IP router update process with traffic-driven updates Ghent University
The update process in an IP router after a failure is detected, is a complex process involving more than just recalculating shortest paths. When statistics related to forwarded traffic are not taken into account, which is generally the case, we show that packet loss can be significantly higher than is strictly needed. In this paper we present a combined control and traffic-driven routing table update scheme which minimizes the packet loss during ...
