Hi,Acee,
    If a router interface whose role is changed(e.g.DR goes down), the router will notify all routers about the change by immediate hello.
 After all router get the change, election will be reprocessed. In contrast to normal hello, immediate hello avoid the backupSeen.
 Namely, improving convergence.

Thanks a lot,
Zengjie
