ABSTRACT:
Managing routes in a router involves the implementation of threshold-specific discard algorithms to discard redundant routes in an intelligent fashion based upon the volume of routes in the router. By employing threshold-specific discard algorithms to intelligently discard redundant routes within a router, the storage capacity of the router is utilized in a more efficient fashion because the routes are not dropped indiscriminately. A method and system comprise identifying a volume of routes in the router, determining whether the volume of routes has reached a threshold and applying a threshold-specific discard algorithm to routes in the router if the volume of routes has reached the threshold.
