Field

Description

 

 

State/Dr (cont.)

Exchange - In this state, the CSS sends DD packets to

 

the neighbor to describe its entire link-state database.

 

Each DD packet has a DD sequence number and is

 

explicitly acknowledged. Only one DD packet is

 

allowed to be outstanding at any one time. In this state,

 

the CSS may also send Link State Request packets,

 

requesting the neighbor’s more recent LSAs. All

 

adjacencies in Exchange state (or greater) are used by

 

the flooding procedure. In fact, these adjacencies are

 

fully capable of transmitting and receiving all types of

 

OSPF routing protocol packets.

 

Loading - In this state, the CSS sends Link State

 

Request packets to the neighbor, requesting the more

 

recent LSAs that have been discovered (but not yet

 

received) in the Exchange state.

 

Full - In this state, the neighboring routers are fully

 

adjacent. These adjacencies will now appear in router

 

LSAs and network LSAs.

 

 

Type

Always dynamic.

 

 

Rxmt_Q

The number of LSAs to retransmit to the neighbors.
