See full text

In one embodiment, a system, method, and apparatus for preventing excessive transmission of routing information in a communications network occurs by receiving a network routing address at a connection node in a communications network, the network routing address allowing the transmission of data packets from a source node to a destination node in the communications network; determining a longest summary route covering a path to the destination node; creating a list comprising a summary of all neighbor connection nodes of the connection node; and transmitting an update of the longest summary route of the network routing address towards all neighbor nodes advertising a destination address comprising a shorter address prefix, wherein the transmitting process occurs sequentially beginning with a first neighbor connection node entered in the list.
