A technique efficiently notifies EIGRP neighbors when destroying adjacencies in a computer network. A goodbye notification packet is provided that enables an EIGRP router to inform one or more of its neighbors of its intention to destroy their existing adjacencies. The goodbye notification packet comprises an EIGRP packet header with variable-length fields embodied as an appended goodbye attribute. The appended goodbye attribute is illustratively tagged according to a TLV encoding format that defines a new type (T) field called "a goodbye" having a predetermined type that distinguishes it from a conventional EIGRP Hello packet. A value (V) field of infor~mation conveyed within the goodbye attribute contains a list of neighbor (peer) identi~fiers (IDs). The peer IDs on this list instruct those neighbor routers to "go away" so that their adjacencies can be destroyed.

L'invention concerne une technique qui permet d'aviser efficacement des voisins du protocole de routage de passerelle intérieure amélioré (EIGRP) lors de la destruction de contiguïtés dans un réseau informatique. Un paquet de notification de fin de session permet à un routeur EIGRP d'informer au moins un de ses voisins de son intention de détruire leurs contiguïtés existantes. Ledit paquet de notification de fin de session comprend un en-tête de paquet EIGRP à champs de longueur variable conçu comme attribut de fin de session annexe. Ledit attribut de fin de session annexe est, par exemple, étiqueté suivant un format de codage type, longueur, valeur (TLV) qui définit un nouveau champ de type (T) appelé <= fin de session >= présentant un type prédéterminé qui le distingued'un paquet d'accueil EIGRP. Un champ de valeur (V) d'informations communiquées au sein de l'attribut fin de session contient une liste d'identificateurs (ID) de voisins (homologues). Ces identificateurs d'homologues figurant sur cette liste donnent consigne aux routeurs voisins de <= partir >= afin que leurs contiguïtés puissent être détruites.
