Dynamic Flooding on Dense Graphs
RFC 9667, “Dynamic Flooding on Dense Graphs”, is an Experimental document published in October 2024 by T. Li, P. Psenak, H. Chen, L. Jalil, S. Dontula. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Routing with link-state protocols in dense network topologies can result in suboptimal convergence times due to the overhead associated with flooding. This can be addressed by decreasing the flooding topology so that it is less dense.
This document discusses the problem in some depth and an architectural solution. Specific protocol changes for IS-IS, OSPFv2, and OSPFv3 are described in this document.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
