Abstract
A method for efficient propagation of link state advertisements in densely interconnected OSPF networks is disclosed for reducing the number of duplicate LSAs propagated during a flooding event. The efficient propagation method includes calculating an LSA propagation subgraph which is used by a node which receives an LSA to determine which links to propagate the LSA upon. This allows a significant reduction in the LSAs which traverse the network during a flooding event. The reduction in LSAs is particularly useful for reducing network convergence times associated with flooding events. In addition, a system is disclosed for performing the method in both a centralized and dispersed manner.
