On of the design goals for unicast route propagation is __________.

On of the design goals for unicast route propagation is stability—continual changes in route are undesirable because they lead to higher jitter and datagram arriving out of order. Thus, once a unicast routing protocol finds a shortest path, it usually retains the route until a failure makes the path unusable. (Reference from E-book)
