OSPF is a link-state intra-domain routing protocol used in IP
networks. LSDB synchronization in OSPF is achieved via two methods--
initial LSDB synchronization when an OSPF router has just been
connected to the network and asynchronous flooding that ensures
continuous LSDB synchronization in the presence of topology changes
after the initial procedure was completed.  It may sometime be
necessary for OSPF routers to resynchronize their LSDBs. OSPF
standard, however, does not allow routers to do so without actually
changing the topology view of the network.  This memo describes a
vendor specific mechanism to perform such form of out-of-band LSDB
synchronization.

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.
