Abstract
In general, various aspects of the techniques described in this disclosure provide a sequence number checksum for link state protocols. In one example, the disclosure describes an apparatus, such as a network device, having a control unit operative to obtain link state information describing links between pairs of the network devices in a network topology, the link state information being fragmented into a plurality of link state protocol (LSP) fragments; compute a sequence number checksum from sequence numbers of the link state protocol (LSP) fragments; receive an LSP data unit from another network device in the network; determine whether a sequence number checksum in the LSP data unit matches a sequence number checksum computed from the link state information; and configure a delay for processing the LSP data unit in response to determining a mismatch between the sequence number checksum of the LSP data unit and the sequence number checksum computed from the link state information.
