About DR election after ospf graceful restart
Hi,
I had couple of questions regarding DR election on helpers after a
OSPF graceful restart.
RFC3623 states the following:
---
When Router Y exits helper mode for X on a given network segment, it
reoriginates its LSAs based on the current state of its adjacency to
Router X over the segment. In detail, Y takes the following actions:
a) Y recalculates the Designated Router for the segment,
b) Y reoriginates its router-LSA for the segment's OSPF area,
c) if Y is Designated Router for the segment, it reoriginates the
network-LSA for the segment and
d) if the segment was a virtual link, Y reoriginates its router-
LSA for the virtual link's transit area.

Question 1:
Should Router Y (helpers) recalculate the DR for the segment even when
it exits helper mode successfully i.e, when grace LSAs were flushed
before grace period expiry.
Question 2:
Assume Router X is of higher priority than Router Y and that Router X
was the BDR before going through a graceful restart. Should Router X
become the new DR for the segment when Router Y runs the DR election
after exiting helper mode?
Thanx,
Sanjay
