  • Scaleable route redistribution mechanism
    Patent number: 6643706
    Abstract: A method of distributing route information is described. The method includes maintaining a number of entries, indicating that at least one of the entries, requiring processing by a first process, has been processed by the first process, and causing the first process to process another of the entries requiring processing by the first process based on the indication. In doing so, the first process uses the indication to decide which of the entries requiring processing the process has already processed and which of those entries remain to be processed. Each one of the entries preferably corresponds to at least one characteristic of a network connection between a number of network elements, such as a route between network elements.
