This mechanism Proposes a two-steps convergence by introducing a delay between the convergence of the node adjacent to the topology change and the network wide convergence. As this mechanism delays the IGP convergence it may only be used for planned maintenance or when fast reroute protects the traffic between the link failure and the IGP convergence. The proposed mechanism will be limited to link down event in order to keep simplicity. Simulations using real network topologies have been performed and show that local loops are a significant portion (\textgreater{}50\%) of the total forwarding loops.}, }
