    Abstract: A network node (N1) for handling IGP flooding topology (FT) inconsistency by obtaining a new FT and setting a FT flag field (FT field) in a data packet (DP) to indicate whether a link between N1 and a second node (N2) is on the new FT. N1 transmits the DP to N2. N1 receives a second DP from N2 that includes the FT field set by N2 to indicate whether the link between the network node and N2 is on the new FT as determined by N2. N1 sets a FT inconsistency field in a link state packet to indicate an inconsistency in the new FT when the FT field set by N2 and the FT field set by N1 are different for a given time. N1 distributes the LS to at least one node in the network.

    Abstract: A mechanism includes receiving, at a local node, a Hello message including an application identifier (AppId) and a target link between a target port for a local node and target port for a neighbor node. The local node determines the AppId is associated with an application for performing database synchronization. The local node sets up a local database in memory at the local node as part of a database pair for use by the application, the database pair including a neighbor database at the neighbor node. The local node associates the database pair with the target link. The local node controls synchronization of the local database with the neighbor database via the target link.
