Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone was aware of a way to use the congestion
of a network link to control the routing update. For example if I have a
very small link that gets congested, I may want the router to withhold a
routing update until link congestion falls below a certain threshold like
60% of bandwidth. Is anyone aware of anything like this available today
or a technique that might accomplish something similar? You can contact
me off list if this topic isn't germane.
Thanks for your help,
Dave Olverson
