Mitchell,

Wasn't the original question whether this could be done without the
previous LSA?

If you had the previous LSA you could definitely determine what had
changed between the two versions.

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  ?
