Route flap is an undesirable phenomenon in the Internet and needs to be eliminated for more stable and robustnetworks. In this paper we present our observations of suchpersistent route flaps on OSPF in some detail. We show howflaps adversely affect OSPF routing and communication environment in general through our experiments. The currentOSPF's implicit timer damping function is found inefficientas each flap may lead to a few seconds of lost connectivity.We implemented a scheme for damping the route flaps andshow as to how this methodology can solve such problemsin OSPF. Our implementation shows considerable improvement over the ones where none of such techniques were applied.
