Usage Guidelines
In a mesh environment, which is a set of fully interconnected point-to-point interfaces, LSP flooding can generate N2 PDUs because no router can tell which routers have and have not received the flooded LSP. By carefully selecting the links over which LSPs are flooded, traffic can be greatly reduced at the cost of some resiliency. Using mesh group IDs instead of a full block (the block-all option) allows a finer granularity of control.
Example
The following command configures blocking on SJvlan for group 5:
configure isis SJvlan mesh block-group 5
