Acee,

        Lets assume that we modify the LSA comparison code sections
        and we keep the older LSA versions for a short time assuming
        we have the memory available.

        What would you say we can now do with this additional information?

I want to identify if for example an router LSA was sent because the cost of one of the links was changed, or if it was because one of the links went down .... This, without having the previous LSAs, just by looking at the newly received LSA. Is it possible ? How  ?
