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 method, comprising:
- identifying, by a first routing device comprising a processor, a route update for a route to a destination node via a network;
- based on a predicted increment of time until an evaluation of the route update by a second routing device, evaluating, by the first routing device, a value of the route update, resulting in an evaluated value of the route update;
- and
- determining, by the first routing device, whether to communicate the route update to the second routing device based on the evaluated value of the route update.
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:
- receiving, from a second routing device, a route update for a route to a network device of a destination node that is part of 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 on a predicted increment of time until the route update is able to be evaluated by the first routing device;
- and
- updating an entry of a routing table based on the route update.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of first network equipment, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving route information for a route to destination network equipment on a network, wherein second network equipment determined, previous to the receiving, to communicate the route information to the first network equipment based on a predicted utility value of the route information to the first network equipment, and wherein the predicted utility value was based on a predicted increment of time to when the route update is able to be evaluated by the first network equipment;
- and
- updating an entry of a routing table based on the route information.
