Re: [OSPF] Implementation of draft-ietf-ospf-dbex-opt-02.txt

Hi Richard,

To contradict what I just said. I think just having the LSA's in any
order will still help. As we have a Master slave model for DD exchange
the same will not affect the order in which LSA's are sent out.

The total number of LSA's exchanged will still be the total number of LSA's.

Thanks,
Vishwas
