Abstract
A device may receive first topology information from a first network device of a network, and may receive second topology information from a second network device of the network. The device may assign a first BGP-LS identifier to the first network device, and may associate the first topology information with the first BGP-LS identifier. The device may assign a second BGP-LS identifier to the second network device, and may associate the second topology information with the second BGP-LS identifier. The device may store the first topology information, as a first route, based on the first BGP-LS identifier, and may store the second topology information, as a second route, based on the second BGP-LS identifier. The device may select the first route or the second route as a primary route, and may utilize the primary route to control routing of traffic through the network.
