Description: Event-driven routing is an approach in network management that makes routing decisions based on specific events occurring within the network. This method allows routing systems to dynamically respond to changes in network state, such as congestion, link failures, or the addition of new nodes. Unlike traditional routing methods, which often rely on static algorithms or predefined metrics, event-driven routing adapts in real-time to changing conditions. This is achieved through constant network monitoring and the implementation of policies dictating how routing devices should react to certain events. Key features of this approach include rapid responsiveness, optimization of network resource usage, and overall system resilience improvement. In environments where efficiency and availability are critical, event-driven routing becomes an essential tool to ensure that data flows effectively and that the network remains operational even in the face of unforeseen circumstances.
