Abstract:
An example method is provided in accordance with one embodiment and includes identifying distances for a sub-tree of a leaf node of a plurality of leaf nodes in a network. The method can also include applying the distances for the sub-tree of the leaf node to a plurality of root nodes connected to the leaf node. Additionally, the method can include establishing a plurality of shortest path distances for the plurality of root nodes using the distances for the sub-tree.

Abstract:
A link state information correction scheme is implemented by the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the correction scheme is implemented by a reload logic module that cooperates with link state protocol logic configured on a reload routing element (or routing element that has reloaded or hard restarted). The reload logic module is configured to receive a database descriptor message at a reload routing element, where the database descriptor message is received from a neighbor routing element during an adjacency formation. The reload logic module is also configured to determine whether the database descriptor message identifies a stale version of a link state advertisement (LSA), where the LSA is self-originated by the reload routing element. The reload logic module is also configured to generate a new version of the LSA during the adjacency formation.
