Abstract

See full text

from a local router over a direct link to a first neighbor router. An adjacency discovery message is not forwarded and includes a repair address. The repair address indicates the local router but is not advertised as reachable over the direct link. An outbound routing update message is sent to a different second neighbor router. The outbound routing update message is forwarded and includes reachability data that indicates the repair address is reachable. A payload of an inbound tunneled packet received at the local router and directed to the repair address is forwarded based on a destination indicated in the payload.
