	Title		: Update to OSPF Hello procedure

This memo documents an extension of the OSPF protocol to reach    
   "ExStart" state more quickly. Currently, the OSPF behavior requires    
   the Hello Packet to be sent between the neighbors every    
   HelloInterval. This document proposes to generalize the use of    
   Immediately Replying Hello which could reduce the time required to    
   reach the OSPF "ExStart" state and  expedite the routing table    
   convergence.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
