ABSTRACT:
A method for providing a lossless, compressed topology aggregation of a group of switching nodes and interconnecting links. The switching nodes are divided into border vertices having communications with other networks or subnetworks and interior vertices. The method determines non-redundant optimal paths between different pairs of border vertices. These paths are aggregated for storage at individual border switching nodes to enable the characteristic, metric or attribute to be advertised outside of the subnetwork or peer group.
