Abstract
A system, method and apparatus adapting one or more routers or nodes in a network to operate in a first mode to exchange hello messages with neighboring nodes to indicate thereby active or live status, and to operate in a second mode to avoid the use of hello messages by opportunistically relying upon service or management protocols to convey active or live status.
