Report Route Object (RRO)

A feature of the RSVP. It allows the path through the MPLS cloud to be displayed at the sender of the path if RRO is set to true.

Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE)

A label signaling protocol that establishes traffic-engineered label switched paths (LSP) through the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network.

RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

A distance vector protocol in the IP suite, used by IP and IPX network-layer protocols, that enables routers in the same AS to exchange routing information by means of periodic updates. It is most often used as a very simple IGP within small networks.

route flapping

An instability that is associated with a prefix, where the associated prefix routes may exhibit frequent changes in availability over a period of time.

route table manager (RTM)

Determines the best route to a destination based on reachability, route preference, and cost.

route reflector

A BGP speaker that advertises routes learned from its route reflector clients to other IBGP neighbors.

route reflector client

A BGP speaker that advertises its learned routes to a route reflector for readvertisement of its routes to the rest of the AS.

Routed SMLT (RSMLT)

Provides full redundancy in core networks and rapid failover—eliminating routing protocol timer dependencies when network failures occur.
