Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising: identifying, by a network device, that an upper utilization threshold for a particular peer queue, of a plurality of peer queues associated with a plurality of peer network devices, is satisfied; pausing, by the network device, writing update messages to the-plurality of peer queues based on the upper utilization threshold being satisfied, wherein the upper utilization threshold is based on one or more of: an upper threshold amount of update messages that can be transmitted, over a period of time, by the network device, or an upper threshold amount of update messages that can be received, over the period of time, by the network device, and wherein the update messages are associated with policy information for a protocol; determining, by the network device, that a lower utilization threshold associated with the particular peer queue is satisfied; and writing, by the network device, the update messages to the plurality of peer queues abased on the lower utilization threshold being satisfied, wherein the lower utilization threshold corresponds to a lower threshold amount of update messages stored in the particular peer queue, and wherein the upper utilization threshold is a different than the lower utilization threshold.
