ABSTRACT:
A link state advertisement protocol message received from an originating device over an inbound interface is forwarded over the fast path according to a predetermined forwarding scheme. A forwarding state that defines rules for forwarding the link state advertisement protocol message may be installed in a forwarding table, in which case the link state advertisement protocol message is forwarded over the fast path according to the forwarding state. The forwarding state may indicate the preferred inbound interface and/or the outbound interface(s) for forwarding the link state advertisement protocol message over the fast path. The link state advertisement protocol message continues to be processed and forwarded by the control plane as usual for robustness.
