Abstract Abstract
Routing with link state protocols in dense network topologies can Routing with link state protocols in dense network topologies can
result in sub-optimal convergence times due to the overhead result in sub-optimal convergence times due to the overhead
associated with flooding. This can be addressed by decreasing the associated with flooding. This can be addressed by decreasing the
flooding topology so that it is less dense. flooding topology so that it is less dense.

Non-DIS nodes whose connection to the LAN is NOT included in the Non-DIS nodes whose connection to the LAN is NOT included in the
flooding topology behave as follows: flooding topology behave as follows:
o Received CSNPs from the DIS are ignored o Received CSNPs from the DIS are ignored
o PSNPs are NOT originated on the LAN o PSNPs are NOT originated on the LAN

6.8.10. Failure of the Area Leader 6.8.10. Failure of the Area Leader
The failure of the Area Leader can be detected by observing that it The failure of the Area Leader can be detected by observing that it
is no longer reachable. In this case, the Area Leader election is no longer reachable. In this case, the Area Leader election
process is repeated and a new Area Leader is elected. process is repeated and a new Area Leader is elected.
In the centralized mode, the new Area Leader will compute a new In order to minimize disruption to Dynamic Flooding if the Area
flooding topology and flood it using the new flooding topology. Leader becomes unreachable, the node which has the second highest
priority for becoming Area Leader (including the system identifier/
Router-ID tie breaker if necessary) SHOULD advertise the same
algorithm in its Area Leader Sub-TLV as the Area Leader and (in
centralized mode) SHOULD advertise a flooding topology. This SHOULD
be done even when the Area Leader is reachable.
As an optimization, applicable to centralized mode, the new Area In centralized mode, the new Area Leader will compute a new flooding
Leader MAY compute a new flooding topology that has as much in common topology and flood it using the new flooding topology. To minimze
disruption, the new flooding topology SHOULD have as much in common
as possible with the old flooding topology. This will minimize the as possible with the old flooding topology. This will minimize the
risk of over-flooding. risk of over-flooding.
