Hey Peter,

yes and we have that in the draft:
"When the Area Leader advertises algorithm 0 in its Area Leader Sub-
TLV and does not advertise a flooding topology, Dynamic Flooding is
disabled for the area. Note this applies whether the Area Leader
intends to operate in centralized mode or in distributed mode."
Two little questions ...
- I think to avoid potential ambiguity in implementations it would be
worth clarifying what "does not advertise" means ... does it mean that
Area Node IDs TLV is not present all together or does it mean that it
yes, Area Node IDs TLV is not present.
MAY be present but it is sufficient that it does not contain any Node ID
.. or both ?
- how does this apply to distributed mode if flooding topology is to be
used only in centralized mode ? Isn't the quoted text from section 6.4 a
bit incorrect and requires a fix ?
algo 0 + no topology advertised equals to legacy flooding.
thanks,
Peter
Thx,
R.
