routing loop

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
routing loop
A network problem in which packets continue to be routed in an endless circle. It is caused by a router or line failure, and the notification of the downed link has not yet reached all the other routers. It can also occur over time due to normal growth or when networks are merged together. See route poisoning.
