Hi 

I have query related to OSPF Graceful Restart. 

Consider this scenario: 

 

- Three Routers R1, R2 and R3 connected via Broadcast networks. 

 

 

 

- Where R1 is a DR on both the segments, where as R2 and R3 are in
DR-other
- Now R1 wants to perform GR, R2 and R3 agrees to be its Helpers. 
- Now after restart R1 will try to form adjacency with both R2 and R3. 
- Lets say R1 and R2 had become FULL, while R1 and R3 had reached
Exstart state.   Now at this time R2 receives an LSA (any type 1-5 and
7, from some other router existing in the same area, not pictured here)
which he needs to flood to R1. 
- This will force R2 to quit Helper Status, while R1 and R3 are still in
process of forming adjacency. 



Considering above scenario, my doubts are: 

- How will R1 come to know that its Helper R2 has quit? 
- Will the adjacency between R1 and R2 needs to go down, as R2 quits
helper mode? 
- Will this effect the adjacency formation of R1 and R3?

 

Regards 
Aamir
