1. A method comprising:

  • detecting, by a switch, an initial connection between the switch and a network;

    in response to detecting the initial connection between the switch and the network, providing a signal;

    determining one or more characteristics of the switch, the network, or an interface to which the switch is connected;

    determining an adjacency-forming rate based on the one or more determined characteristics, wherein the adjacency-forming rate is a rate at which adjacency-forming messages are sent by the switch; and

    selectively forming adjacencies between the switch and a plurality of peers of the switch in response to the signal and based on the adjacency-forming rate.
