Hi Anil, 
This is the case where the transit network vertex corresponding to a network-LSA is newly added to the current intra-area graph and an intra-area route corresponding to the SPF in progress already exists. This implies that there was another network-LSA. So, either the network corresponding to the subnet is partitioned or there is a network configuration error with the same subnet configured for multiple multi-access networks. In either case, I don't really see the benefit of an ECMP route. In fact, it could make trouble-shooting the problem more difficult. 

Hence, I would advise Alvaro, the responsible AD, to reject this Errata. 

Thanks,
Acee

    --------------------------------------
    You may review the report below and at:

    --------------------------------------
    Type: Technical
    Reported by: Anil Chaitanya Mandru <mandru@versa-networks.com>
    
    Section: 16.1 (4)
    
    Original Text
    -------------
    In this case, the current routing table entry
                should be overwritten if and only if the newly found path is
                just as short and the current routing table entry's Link
                State Origin has a smaller Link State ID than the newly
                added vertex' LSA.
    
    Corrected Text
    --------------
    In this case, if the newly found path is just as short, 
    then both the paths should be added to the routing table. 
    
    Notes
    -----
    If the newly found path is just as short then both the paths should be considered for ECMP. Why should the smaller Link State ID path overwrite the current one even if the paths are equi distant?
