Acee,

        Then what would / could you do with this information? Could it
        be useful in anyway? Have you ever heard of anyone really

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  ?
