Micro-Loop Avoidance

When a core routing link fails, routers across the network must update their topological maps. During those few milliseconds when different routers are updating their tables at slightly different speeds, a dangerous phenomenon occurs: Micro-Loops.

⚠️ The Threat: Packets bounce back and forth between two adjacent routers, completely saturating link capacity, dropping critical business data, and spiking latency metrics across your entire infrastructure.

🛠 The SRv6 Fix: Because SRv6 utilizes strict source routing, it allows us to deploy highly advanced, automated Micro-Loop Avoidance mechanisms.

How our engineering approach locks down your topology:

➡ Explicit Backup Pathing: The source router temporarily embeds a strict, loop-free path into the packet header immediately following a topology change.

➡ Coordinated Convergence: Holds the precise path lock until every background node has finished updating its local RIB/FIB tables.

➡ Zero Congestion Spikes: Completely eliminates transient routing loops, protecting your high-frequency financial or telecom data lines.

Stop chasing phantom network packet drops.
