Abstract:
A method is described of advertising a link cost in a data communication network having as components nodes and links. A node detects a change of state of an adjacent component. The change of state can be between an activated and a deactivated state or vice versa. The node varies an associated link cost by an incremental value and advertises the varied cost.
