Abstract:
When there is a change in network topology either due to a link going
down or due to a new link addition, all the nodes in the network need
to get the complete view of the network and re-compute the routes.
There will generally be a small time window when the forwarding state
of each of the nodes is not synchronized. This can result in
transient loops in the network, leading to dropped traffic due to
over-subscription of links. Micro-looping is generally more harmful
than simply dropping traffic on failed links, because it can cause
control traffic to be dropped on an otherwise healthy link involved
in micro-loop. This can lead to cascading adjacency failures or
network meltdown.
