Abstract
The technologies described herein are generally directed toward shedding processing loads associated with route updates. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a processor and a memory that can enable operations facilitating performance of operations including facilitating identifying a route update for a route to a destination node on a network. Additional operations can include evaluating a value of the route update, resulting in an evaluated value of the route update. Additional operations can include determining whether to communicate the route update to a second routing device based on the evaluated value of the route update.
Claims20
A first routing device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- identifying a route update for a route to a destination node on a network;
- based on a predicted increment of time until an evaluation of the route update by a second routing device, evaluating a value of the route update, resulting in an evaluated value of the route update;
- and
- determining whether to communicate the route update to the second routing device based on the evaluated value of the route update.
A method, comprising:
- facilitating, by a first routing device comprising a processor, receiving, from a second routing device, a route update for a route to a network device of a destination node on a network, wherein the second routing device determined to communicate the route update to the first routing device based on a predicted utility value of the route update to the first routing device, and wherein the predicted utility value was based a predicted increment of time until the route update could be evaluated by the first routing device;
- and
- updating, by the first routing device, an entry of a routing table of the first routing device based on the route update.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a first routing device, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- identifying a route update for a route to a network device of a destination node on a network;
- based on a predicted increment of time until an evaluation of the route update by a second routing device, predicting a future value of the route update to the second routing device at a defined future time, resulting in a predicted future value;
- and
- determining whether to communicate the route update to a second routing device based on the predicted future value.
