Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-002318
A condition in a network where a route or interface repeatedly changes its state between up and down in rapid succession. This instability can lead to network performance degradation, routing table recalculations, and increased network traffic. Network monitoring tools are used to detect and diagnose flapping events.
