As one of the requirements of link state based routing protocols such
as OSPF, link state update packets are intervally or reactively
disseminate in the network in order to keep the information of
topology and links resource synchronized at each control node.
Considering large scale networks, massive messages are flooded in the
control plane of General Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) based
multi-area networks. The convergence time of link state based
routing protocols will have a significant impact on the performance
of the networks. So measuring and analyzing the convergence time of
information flooding in multi-areas becomes very important. This
document provides suggestions for measuring OSPF multi-area control
plane convergence. A performance metric of convergence time of
information flooding is proposed to characterize the ability of
information synchronization in multi-area networks.
