Originating LSAs during OSPF graceful restart



Hi All,

Should the restarting routing summarize it's own lsas (self-originated) 
during adjaceny establishment? This can happen in the following scenario.

Suppose there are 3 OSPF routers on a broadcast network and the DR 
restarts. When it establishes adjacency with the first neighbor, it will 
get its own lsas from it. Now while forming adjaceny with the second 
neighbor, should it summarize it's own lsas?

If yes, then the neighbor will request for them and the restarting router 
will send these lsas. So does the RFC 3623 mean that the restarting router 
should not originate "newer" instances of lsas of type 1,5 or 7? 

Thanks in advance
