Abstract:

By analysis of the flooding features of open shortest path first (OSPFv3) and the shortages of its link-state advertisement (LSAs) flooding multi-metric, the performances of average flooding efficiency (FE) and average flooding packets number (FPN) in regular 3,4,6-neighbor and n-neighbor networks are researched. Simulations resulted from arbitrary-node-distribution IPv6 networks show that the increases of the network scale, neighbor nodes and metrics can make the flooding efficiency lower and bring more network loads. The conclusions are very useful in selecting routing metrics and constructing future IPv6 quality of service (QoS) routing networks.

Key words: IPv6, open shortest path first, quality of service routing, flooding, metric
