routingready
Routingready is a term used in computer networking and distributed systems to denote that the routing functionality of a component is prepared to process and forward traffic or messages. It represents a readiness state distinct from a general operational status, indicating that the routing subsystem has loaded necessary data structures, established required connections, and validated policies before accepting traffic.
In practice, routingready can apply to network devices such as routers and switches, software-defined networking controllers,
Determining routingready typically involves multiple checks. These may include verification that route or forwarding tables are
Operationally, routingready helps prevent premature traffic forwarding and supports graceful startup sequences. Systems that use it
