Title : OSPF Refresh and Flooding Reduction in Stable
Topologies
Author(s) : P. Pillay-Esnault
Filename : draft-pillay-esnault-ospf-flooding-07.txt
Pages : 5

This document describes an extension to the OSPF protocol to
reduce periodic flooding of Link State Advertisements in
stable topologies.
The OSPF current behavior requires that all LSAs other than DoNotAge
LSAs to be refreshed every 30 minutes. This document proposes to
generalize the use of DoNotAge LSAs to reduce protocol traffic in
stable topologies

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-pillay-esnault-ospf-flooding-07.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
