Description: Incremental routing is a method designed to update routing tables in data networks with minimal disruption. This approach allows changes in the network topology, such as the addition or removal of nodes, to be efficiently reflected without the need to restart the entire routing process. Unlike traditional methods, which may require a complete reconfiguration and cause significant service interruptions, incremental routing focuses on making local adjustments. This is achieved by propagating routing information only to those nodes that have changed, minimizing control traffic and improving network stability. This method is particularly relevant in environments where continuous availability is critical, such as in various data networks. By allowing updates to be carried out more smoothly, incremental routing contributes to a more efficient management of network resources and a more consistent user experience.
