Microloops are caused by the non-simultaneous convergence of different nodes in the network. If a converged node sends traffic to a neighbor node that has not converged yet (or vice versa), traffic may be looped between these nodes, resulting in packet loss, jitter, and packet disorder. This document presents some optional implementation methods aimed at loop avoidance in different scenarios of IGP network convergence.}, }
