Abstract
A network-connectivity system can receive a remote additive hash for a routing-data collection of a remote network node, and compares the remote additive hash with a local additive hash for a local routing-data collection. A respective additive hash represents one or more network-configuration items of a routing-data collection. Also, at least one of the network-configuration items of the routing-data collection includes reachability information for a network node of a computer network, such as a link-state advertisement. If the system determines that the remote additive hash does not match the local additive hash, the system synchronizes the local routing-data collection with the remote network node of the computer network.
