Abstract
A node in a network running a link-state routing protocol identifies certain routing control messages and stores the identified messages in separate queues. The queues are weighted such that each message type is allotted a predetermined amount of processing overhead to optimize the message processing by a node. In one embodiment, the node processor processes the queued messages in accordance with the entries in a weighted round robin polling table. An upper limit of processing time can be specified for each visit to a particular message queue.
