Flooding Procedure LSA Processed By Any Bidirectional Neighbor: Exploits the broadcast nature of MANETs. LSA Forwarding Exclusion: No forwarding is performed if either of the following two conditions are satisfied for all bidirectional neighbors on the interface: The LSA or an ACK for the LSA has been received from each neighbor. The LSA was received on a MANET interface, and all neighbors are “covered” by another neighbor from which the LSA was received. MDR Forwarding: Floods the LSA back out the receiving interface if there exists a bidirectional neighbor that does not satisfy condition (a) or (b). Backup MDR Forwarding: Waits BackupWaitInterval seconds, and then floods the LSA back out the receiving interface if there exists a bidirectional neighbor that does not satisfy condition (a) or (b). MDR Other Forwarding: LSAs are never forwarded back out the same interface. Multiple MANET Interfaces: Optional step which avoids redundant forwarding when flooding occurs over multiple MANET interfaces. |
