Abstract
Various example embodiments for supporting link-state flooding for a routing protocol based on use of a transport layer protocol are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting link-state flooding for a routing protocol based on use of a transport layer protocol may be configured to support use of routing protocol messages of the routing protocol to support establishment of transport layer connections of a transport layer protocol (e.g., use of adjacency messages of the routing protocol for identifying routers configured to support use of transport layer connections for supporting link-state flooding). Various example embodiments for supporting link-state flooding for a routing protocol based on use of a transport layer protocol may be configured to support use of transport layer connections to support communication of routing protocol messages of the routing protocol (e.g., adjacency messages, link-state messages for flooding of link-state information, or the like, as well as various combinations thereof).
