What is network convergence?

Network convergence is the efficient coexistence of telephone, video and data communication within a single network. The use of multiple communication modes on a single network offers convenience and flexibility that are not possible with separate infrastructures. Today, net convergence is more commonly referred to as unified communications .

What is physical layer convergence protocol?

(November 2019) Physical Layer Convergence Protocol is the physical layer protocol of several data transmission networks. It is used in the 802.11 standard. This computer networking article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

When is a state of convergence achieved?

A state of convergence is achieved once all routing protocol-specific information has been distributed to all routers participating in the routing protocol process. Any change in the network that affects routing tables will break the convergence temporarily until this change has been successfully communicated to all other routers.

What happens if a network change affects convergence?

Any change in the network that affects routing tables will break the convergence temporarily until this change has been successfully communicated to all other routers. Convergence time is a measure of how fast a group of routers reach the state of convergence.
