Abstract
A method for border nodes using the Border Gateway Protocol to advertise path updates to peer nodes in other domains involves calculating the update interval for each advertisement of an update of the same path to the same peer and advertising the update when the interval has expired. The update interval is the sum of the standard update interval and the unexpired portions of update intervals applied to previous unadvertised updates.
