ABSTRACT:
A router for interconnecting external devices coupled to the router. The router comprises: i) a switch fabric; ii) a plurality of routing nodes coupled to the switch fabric, wherein each of the plurality of routing nodes is capable of exchanging data packets with the external devices and with other ones of the plurality of routing nodes via the switch fabric; and iii) a first control processor associated with a first one of the plurality of routing nodes capable of generating a first refined redistribution metric associated with a first route in a routing table of the first routing node. The first control processor generates the first refined redistribution metric based on 1) a first default redistribution metric associated with a first routing protocol associated with the first route and 2) a first routing protocol metric received from the first routing protocol associated with the first route.
