Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of communication, in particular to a method for selecting a backup next hop of an external route with multiple publishing sources and a device thereof. Background technique
[0002] OSPF (Open Shortest Path First, Open Shortest Path First) is a link-state-based interior gateway protocol developed by the IETF. A group of routers running the OSPF routing protocol constitutes an OSPF autonomous system (Autonomous System, AS). In order to reduce the number of protocol packets and increase the speed of route convergence, OSPF divides the autonomous system into different areas (Area). Areas logically divide routers into different groups, and each group is identified by an area number (Area ID). Such as figure 1 As shown, Area 0 is called the backbone area. OSPF link state information will only be diffused within the area, each area will have an independent link state information database, and each area will perform inde...
