Disabling LSA altogether or changing the interval? Apparently, there is an interval key (was just reviewing this and the last slides are of interest to this conversation: <http://www.cc.isel.ipl.pt/FTPEventos/TechED/ sessoes/Messaging/MSG323.PPT> ) but I don't see it doc'd. From the SP2 Deployment Guide: When the state of a network link is changed, status information is sent to all other servers running Exchange 2000 in the organization. When working in large routed environments or networks that constantly suffer from outages, link state traffic can possibly account for a large proportion of the total traffic on the network. In some environments, especially hub-and-spoke routed scenarios, it is advantageous to turn off link state routing or suppress it on certain servers. With Exchange 2000 SP2, it is possible to suppress and disable link state traffic by use of the following registry parameter: Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ RESvc \ Parameters Parameter name: SuppressStateChanges Parameter type: REG_DWORD Parameter value: 0x00000001 Al _____ From: Shevill, Mark M SITI-ITDCE22 [mailto:Mark.Shevill@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 2:25 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Routing Deltas http://www.MSExchange.org/ So have you got any idea what the reg key is for this?

Where is the LSA information coming from? Your site? Or some other site? In other words, is it just being passed along from a RG Master in some other RG to this site? I would have expected once the link was listed as down, that it would only send the updates on 60 second intervals, not every few minutes send a bunch. That sounds more like it's passing the information on from other RG Masters and acting as the central relay hub. You can turn link state off altogether if it helps. There's a regkey that allows this. I have not heard of a way to change the interval, but that would be a nice thing to have. You may have to check with Microsoft and see if that's doc'd internally.

This is with the Routing engine turned off.

If the frequency, what is the current frequency you're seeing (i.e. every five minutes a 20k message is sent etc)? _____ From: Shevill, Mark M SITI-ITDCE22 [mailto:Mark.Shevill@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 4:09 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Routing Deltas http://www.MSExchange.org/ All Would appreciate some input. We have problems on a regular basis with slow network links. Even though the Routing engine is turned off the servers at the end of wet pieces of string continue to get routing updates. These are smtp over port 25 deltas. They literally say that the connection is up or down. Since they send out to all in the same routing group then the amount of traffic is more than enough to swamp the poor link. What I need to do is to limit the amount of deltas that are sent out. I want to say deltas can go out every 20 mins say. Does anyone know how I might achieve this?
