Parameter 
number: Specifies number of routes to process before releasing CPU. It is in unit of 
piece with the range from 1000 to 50000. By default, the value is 2500 pieces. 
Description 
Use the spf-delay-interval command to configure the number of routes to process 
before releasing CPU in the SPF calculation. 
Use the undo spf-delay-interval command to restore the default setting.  
When there are a large number of routes in the routing table, this command can be 
used to set that CPU resources are released automatically after a certain number of 
routes are processed. The unprocessed routes will be processed in one second. In this 
way, SPF calculation will not occupy the system resources for a long time, which has 
impact on the responding speed of the console. 
The value of the number argument can be adjusted according to the capacity of the 
routing table. If the spf-slice-size command is also configured, the SPF calculation will 
be paused when any setting item is met. 
By default, CPU is released once when every 2500 pieces of routes are processed. 
Related command: spf-slice-size.  
Example 
# Set IS-IS to release CPU once after processing every 3000 pieces of routes.
