Re: DR election

["Krishnan, Vijay G." <Vijay.G.Krishnan at MARCONI.COM>]

The first router does not become the DR immediately. It waits for its
configurable "wait timer" to expire, before electing the DR. Others routers
could come up during this time. Once the DR is elected, addition of new
routers would not change the DR. This will reduce the instability due to the
DR changes.

Hello
If all routers accept the DR regardless of their Router Priority,
It means that actually the first active router on the LAN is the DR.
Isn't this makes the Router Priority parameter somewhat irrelevant?
(In RSTP for instance, when priority is changed - network is
re-calculated).
