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 indicate a time at which the routing update is to be put into effect where the time decreases the further away a given routing device is from the source of the routing update. For example, each routing device can determine a decayed update reference time when the given routing device will put the routing update into effect according to a decay mode. Routing updates can be managed between routing devices that support timing information and routing devices that do not support timing information.
