Abstract
We formulate a notion of local stabilization, by which
a system self­stabilizes in time proportional to the size of
any perturbation that changes the network topology or the
state of nodes. The notion implies that the part of the net­
work involved in the stabilization includes at most the nodes
whose distance from the perturbed nodes is proportional
to the perturbation size. Also, we present LSRP, a proto­
col for local stabilization in shortest path routing. LSRP
achieves local stabilization via two techniques. First, it lay­
ers system computation into three diffusing waves with dif­
ferent propagation speeds, i.e., ``stabilization wave'' with the
lowest speed, ``containment wave'' with intermediate speed,
and ``super­containment wave'' with the highest speed. The
containment wave contains mistakenly initiated stabilization
