Correct. This can be all systems. It can be one. For redundancy, a few would be sensible. > With that can you confirm the procedure to "resign" as area leader ? Stop advertising the Area Leader sub-TLV. It’s that simple. > Especially that under those circumstances just having active area leader to > resign clearly is not enough to change given flooding scheme. If there are multiple potential area leaders, then all of them would have to resign. > In some deployments all eligible nodes may advertise such capability which in > turn the "resign" procedure would require NMS action to disable such > capability by configuration and re-flooding it.
