What is Route Convergence?

Understanding Route Convergence

Route convergence is the process by which network routers update and synchronize their routing tables to reflect changes in the network topology, including link failures or changes in network paths. It ensures that routers can quickly adapt to changes in the network to maintain efficient and reliable routing of data packets. Route convergence time refers to the duration it takes for all routers in a network to update their routing tables after a change occurs, minimizing disruptions and ensuring continuous connectivity.
