### AI overview

The article explains how hardware-assisted prefix-independent convergence can keep network recovery time nearly constant as routing tables grow. It describes preinstalled backup next-hops and a shared indirection object that lets the forwarding plane switch traffic with a pointer update instead of rewriting every affected route.

### Source excerpt

Prefix-independent convergence uses preinstalled backup paths and forwarding indirection to keep network recovery from scaling with affected route count.
