Generating candidate routes for a routing table is an OSPF function in this 
context, not a router function.  For that reason you need to think only 
about when in the OSPF state machine are DR/BDR roles detected/elected.  In 
general, this occurs on a per segment basis when an ospf speaking router 
initially transmits and listens for hellos.
