SUMMARY
When a network topology change occurs that affects routing tables on routers, communication between routed locations may be disrupted. Thus it is important for a network to maintain a converged state.

MORE INFORMATION
Convergence is the process of communicating changes in network topology and recomputing routes based on the changes. A network where all maintained routes are current and accurate is said to be in a converged state.
