Explicit Marking and Prioritized Treatment of Specific IGP Packets for Faster IGP Convergence and Improved Network Scalability and Stability <draft-ietf-ospf-scalability-00.txt> March 21st, 2001

Overview

Scalability Concern

Illustrative Numerical Examples

Figure 1: Hello Interval 10 Seconds, Router-Dead Interval 40 Seconds, Hold-Down Timer 5 Seconds

Figure 2: Hello Interval 300 ms, Router-Dead Interval 1.2 Seconds, Hold-Down Timer 500 ms

Figure 3: 300 Nodes, 800 Trunks, Hello Interval 5 Seconds, Router-Dead Interval 15 Seconds, Hold-Down Timer 1 Second

Figure 4: 300 Nodes, 800 Trunks, Hello Interval 5 Seconds, Router-Dead Interval 15 Seconds, Hold-Down Timer 1 Second

Figure 5: 300 Nodes, 800 Trunks, Hello Interval 5 Seconds, Router-Dead Interval 15 Seconds, Hold-Down Timer 1 Second
