Route Flap Convergence

Routers in the Internet core exchange between three and six million routing prefixes each day, and the fluctuation of network topology can have a direct impact on a router's performance. A router than has not yet reached convergence in its internal routing tables may drop packets or deliver packets to the wrong next-hop router.

This concise application note provides a quick introduction to Route Flap Convergence and a few easy test steps required to evaluate how the forwarding performance of the router is effected by routing instabilities.
