INFORMATION FLOODING METHOD AND DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18356407 titled 'INFORMATION FLOODING METHOD AND DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and device for managing flooding information in an interior gateway protocol (IGP) instance.
- The method allows for flexible management of flooding information and adapts to different flooding requirements in various scenarios.
- The flooding efficiency is improved, leading to savings in network resources.
- The method also enhances the processing efficiency of flooding information.
- A first network device obtains a flooding information set, which includes flooding information for each flooding instance within an IGP instance.
- The first network device sends packets, each carrying a flooding instance identifier and corresponding flooding information.
- The flooding instance identifier helps identify the specific flooding instance.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information flooding method and a device, to flexibly manage flooding information of an interior gateway protocol (IGP) instance, adapt to flooding requirements in different scenarios, improve flooding efficiency, save network resources, and improve flooding information processing efficiency. The method includes: a first network device obtains a flooding information set, where the flooding information set includes flooding information corresponding to each of a plurality of flooding instances, and the plurality of flooding instances belong to one IGP instance. The first network device sends a plurality of packets, where each of the plurality of packets carries a corresponding flooding instance identifier and corresponding flooding information, and the flooding instance identifier is used to identify a flooding instance.
