Re: [Lsr] Flooding Negotiation bit

Les

We do have cases with adjacencies around around the 100 range and the
process overhead is much worse for ospf with the type 1 type 2 full spf
calc so the FN flood bit negotiation would be very useful so we don’t have
a cascading effect that would ripple through the mpls core.  We have found
that with ISIS is not as taxing with flooding process overhead with the
same number of adjacencies is not as bad with flooding and definitely
scales much better then ospf.

When the FN bit and a exponential back off happens on a node that rebooted
and just came back online does that delay convergence.

How does this impact convergence if Graceful Restart is enabled or CISCO
NSR how does the FN bit impact the grace LSA received by helper router
which continues to forward on stale paths until topology change occurs at
which time GR IS exited and full spf runs.  Also how does this impact LSA
group pacing to refresh LSA so full SPF does not have to run on all nodes
as root of tree at once.
