Abstract
Methods and devices for distributing routes in a network are disclosed. The methods include identifying priority routes for a plurality of routes in a network device. The method also includes establishing communications with a neighboring network device and sending a first set of routes of the plurality routes to the neighboring network device. The first set of routes is selected based on a relative priority of the first set of routes to non-selected routes of the plurality of routes. The neighboring network device receives the first set of routes, and writes the first set of routes to forwarding hardware of the neighboring network device. The programmed routes are then used to route packets in the network.
