ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving on a first communication link at a local router all routing information at a certain level of detail for each router of multiple routers communicating in a first flooding domain. A measure of distance is determined from a particular router in the first flooding domain to the local router. It is determined whether the measure of distance exceeds a threshold. If the measure of distance exceeds the threshold, then summary routing information with less than the certain level of detail is determined for the particular router. Also, certain routing information is sent over a different second communication link at the local router. The certain routing information includes the summary information for the particular router, and all routing information at the certain level of detail for a subset of routers communicating in the first flooding domain, which subset excludes the particular router.
