Abstract
Network performance may be improved by adjusting a logical network topology while avoiding attendant disruptions. By identifying an alternative logical topology, routing network traffic away from links that will be eliminated from the alternative logical topology, and updating a traffic routing plan upon the adoption of the alternative logical topology, a network may adopt a more efficient topology without misdirecting network traffic.
