Information
LSP throttling slows down the frequency at which LSPs are generated during network instability. Even 
though throttling LSP generations slows down network convergence, no throttling can result in a 
network not functioning as expected. If network topology is unstable, throttling slows down the 
scheduling of LSP generations until the topology regains its stability.
The first generation is controlled by the initial wait interval and the second generation is controlled by 
the second wait interval. Each subsequent wait interval is twice as long as the previous one until the 
wait interval reaches the maximum wait time specified (interval seconds). Once the network calms 
down and there are no triggers for two times the maximum interval, fast behavior is restored (the initial 
wait time).
lsp-mtu 
e 
Set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of IS-IS link-state packets (LSPs). This command only 
limits the size of LSPs generated by this router.
Syntax

To return to the default values, enter no lsp-mtu.
