Claim 14:
15. A device for path computation and setup in a network, comprising:
a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions; and
one or more processors in communication with the memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
receive connectivity information of one or more nodes in the network including a first node;
compute a flooding topology based on the received connectivity information, the flooding topology represented by links between the one or more nodes, including the first node, in the network;
encode the links between the one or more nodes, including the first node, on the flooding topology, wherein the links are encoded with at least an encoded node index size (ENS) index and a compact node index (CNI); and
flood a link state advertisement message to the one or more nodes in the network, the link state advertisement message including each of the encoded links in the flooding topology.
