This document recommends methods that are intended to improve the
scalability and stability of large networks using OSPF (Open Shortest
Path First) protocol.  The methods include processing OSPF Hellos and
LSA (Link State Advertisement) Acknowledgments at a higher priority
compared to other OSPF packets, and other congestion avoidance
procedures.

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
Internet-Draft.
