Abstract

Technologies are provided for managing routing updates within computer networks using brick identifier (ID) values. For example, brick ID values can be assigned to bricks of routers within a network. When a router of the network receives a routing update, the router can check the brick ID value of the routing update and compare it to its assigned brick ID value. If the brick ID values match, then the router can process the routing update using a preferred procedure. If the brick ID values do not match, then the router can process the routing update using a standard procedure. The preferred procedure can result in faster convergence of routing changes within the network.
