Thread-topic: need clarification: DIS processing

Hi all,

one question:

when a router receives a DIS, should it answer right away? I guess this is a good source of collision, so a random timer would help. Could we set T to a random value between I_min /2 and I_Min, without resetting I (receiving a DIS does not mean inconsistency)?

Best,

Julien
