Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing delayed path calculations based on service type is presented. A first network device sends to at least one of a plurality of other network devices in a network, link state information directing receivers of the link state information, when computing routes transiting though the first network device, to refrain from using the first network device on at least one of the group consisting of per Network Layer Protocol Identifier (NLPID), per address family, and per service within an address family.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method in which a computer system performs operations comprising:
- sending, by a first network device to at least one of a plurality of other network devices in a network, link state information directing receivers of said link state information, when computing routes transiting though said first network device,
- to refrain from using said first network device on at least one of the group consisting of per Network Layer Protocol Identifier (NLPID), per address family, and per service within an address family.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable code thereon for providing delayed path calculations based on service type, the medium including instructions in which a computer system performs operations comprising:
- sending, by a first network device to at least one of a plurality of other network devices in a network, link state information directing receivers of said link state information, when computing routes transiting though said first network device,
- to refrain from using said first network device on at least one of the group consisting of per Network Layer Protocol Identifier (NLPID), per address family, and per service within an address family.
A network device comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor;
- a communications interface;
- an interconnection mechanism coupling the memory, the processor and the communications interface;
- and
- wherein the memory is encoded with an application providing delayed path calculations based on service type, that when performed on the processor, provides a process for processing information, the process causing the network device to perform the operations of:
- sending, by said network device to at least one of a plurality of other network devices in a network, link state information directing receivers of said link state information, when computing routes transiting though said first network device,
- to refrain from using said first network device on at least one of the group consisting of per Network Layer Protocol Identifier (NLPID), per address family, and per service within an address family.
