1. A method, comprising:
- determining a network stability of a communication network based on one or more network metrics related to stability;
determining, based on the network stability, with what frequency to perform route reoptimization, wherein the frequency inversely corresponds to the network stability; and
triggering distributed route reoptimization in the communication network at the determined frequency.

Abstract
In one embodiment, the network stability of a communication network is determined based on one or more network metrics related to stability, and then based on the network stability, a particular frequency at which to perform route reoptimization is determined, where the frequency inversely corresponds to the network stability. As such, distributed route reoptimization is triggered in the communication network at the adaptively determined frequency.
