METHOD FOR ADJUSTING SYNCHRONIZATION OF ROUTING INFORMATION IN DATA SWITCHING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for adjusting the synchronization of routing information in data switching environment is provided to synchronize information held in a switching database with a data network node identifier record associated with a management processor. CONSTITUTION: An entry of a switching database(224) is modified. A status specifier(234) corresponding to the modified entry is set to signify the modification thereof. The inspection of the switching database(224) is initiated on the expiration of an adjustable timer(242), and information held in the modified switching database entries is synchronized with a data network node identifier record(152). The synchronization of burst changes of information held in the switching database(224) is spread out over time.
