Abstract:
A system and a method for eliminating data loss in a virtually aggregated network are described. A first network device may identify inactivity of a central network device present in a communication network. The central network device is responsible for distributing routing information between a plurality of network devices including the first network device. The first network device delays network route calculations until a second network device is elected from the plurality of network devices to perform functions of the central network device. The second network device generates link state information related to the plurality of network devices, and shares the link state information with the plurality of network devices. Upon receiving the link state information, the plurality of network device may resume the route calculations.
