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

Hi Richard,

I think the draft is good and helpful.

Besides the changes already mentioned below, one more point that could
help is to actually send the LSA's in DB description packets in
different orders. If we probably run between two similar
implementations and bring up a new link between two routers (which are
already in connected in the same area - the optimization may not
help).

Thanks,
Vishwas
