The 12-Factor App - 15 Years later. Does it Still Hold Up in 2026?
Summary
This article discusses a theoretical routing-speedup over Dijkstra, evaluates its potential impact on real networks, and emphasizes that practical routing performance depends on multiple factors beyond the SPF algorithm, such as failure detection and convergence. It argues for maintaining simple, well-understood solutions in production routers while acknowledging potential uses in large-scale applications.
