Abstract

Techniques are described for utilizing two-part metrics with link state routing protocols of computer networks. For example, link state advertisements communicated by a router convey outbound cost metrics representative of outbound costs for the router to send network traffic to a network, and inbound cost metrics representative of inbound costs to receive network traffic from the network. The techniques may be particularly useful with respect to shared access networks, including broadcast or non-broadcast multi-access networks.
