Abstract
The present disclosure describes reducing flooding of link state information of a link state protocol in a network with multiple routers. A filtering strategy is pre-configured on a router interface for filtering link state information generated by a first router. The filtering strategy is to enable link state database (LSDB) isolation between a second router associated with the router interface and the first router. Link state information generated by the first router is received or sent according to the pre-configured filtering strategy via the router interface.
Claims15
A method for reducing flooding of link state information of a link state protocol in a network with multiple routers, comprising:
- pre-configuring a filtering strategy on a router interface for filtering link state information generated by a first router, wherein the filtering strategy is to enable link state database (LSDB) isolation between a second router associated with the router interface and the first router;
- and
- receiving or sending link state information generated by the first router according to the pre-configured filtering strategy via the router interface.
A network device for reducing flooding of link state information of a link state protocol in a network with multiple routers, wherein the network device is capable of acting as a router and comprises a processor to:
- pre-configure a filtering strategy on a router interface for filtering link state information generated by a first router, wherein the filtering strategy is to enable link state database (LSDB) isolation between a second router associated with the router interface and the first router;
- and
- receive or send link state information generated by the first router according to the pre-configured filtering strategy via the router interface.
