    This document discusses discard routes and avoiding routing loops. It describes an ISP network with static routes between routers. When a link goes down between two routers, a routing loop can occur without the proper configuration. To resolve this, the document explains two solutions: 1) disabling classful routing or 2) adding a discard route for the network to null0, which prevents routing loops by discarding packets destined for that network when the link is down. The discard route solves the problem by ensuring packets for the problematic network are dropped rather than routed in a loop.

    Scenario
    ISP Network

    ISP has static routes for


    172.16.0.0/16 and
    192.168.1.0/24 to RTA

    ISP
    RTA has a static default
    route 0.0.0.0/0 to ISP
