Title : Loop-free convergence using oFIB
Author(s) : P. Francois, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-rtgwg-ordered-fib-01.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2007-7-9
This draft describes a mechanism for use in conjunction with link
state routing protocols which prevents the transient loops which
would otherwise occur during topology changes. It does this by
correctly sequencing the FIB updates on the routers.
This mechanism can be used in the case of non-urgent link or node
shutdowns and restarts or link metric changes. It can also be used
in conjunction with a FRR mechanism which converts a sudden link or
node failure into a non-urgent topology change. This is possible
where a complete repair path is provided for all affected
destinations.
After a non-urgent topology change, each router computes a rank that
defines the time at which it can safely update its FIB. A method for
accelerating this loop-free convergence process by the use of
completion messages is also described.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rtgwg-ordered-fib-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
