Just to add something about DR election.
I suggest to include in OSPF router implementations a "point-to-point" 
statement even for Ethernet Networks.
We have point-to-point optical Ethernet connections between routers running 
OSPF and we don't want to waste 40sec for the DR-BDR election every time a 
new connection is established. There is no need to consider Ethernet a 
broadcast network in such conditions

Best regards
