Abstract
Routing activities for a collection of routing devices in a network are coordinated. Link state information representative of connections among the devices is received from the devices. The received link state information is processed for each of the network devices. The processed link state information is provided to the network devices to enable the network devices to determine how to route network traffic. The processed link state information may represent the topology of the network differently to different devices in order to influence device routing behavior.
