Abstract
Techniques and solutions for distributing routing updates using timing information are described. For example, inter-device messaging protocols can support timing information (e.g., routing protocols be extended to support timing information). The timing information can comprise an indication of a time at which the routing update is to be put into effect. Using the timing information, a number of routing devices can put the routing update into effect at the same time (e.g., at an update reference time) according to a synchronous mode. Routing updates can be managed between routing devices that support timing information and routing devices that do not support timing information.
