1. A computer-implemented method for minimizing data interruptions in a network, comprising:
upon detecting a first network device joining the network, sending a first indication to at least a second network device that the first network device is in an overload state for a predetermined amount of time;
after the predetermined amount of time has elapsed, sending a second indication to at least the second network device that the first network device has exited the overload state; and
updating a topology of the network comprising the first network device and at least the second network device, after the first network device has exited the overload state.
