One very nice thing about dynamic flooding is that it computes a flooding topology at the node level. If the adjacency between A and B is on the flooding topology, then any single link between them may be used for flooding. If you have 128 way parallel links, this is an immediate 128x improvement in flooding overhead. What’s more, A and B do not need to agree on which link they are using and can use different links, resulting in an asymmetric situation, without any loss of correctness or performance. Regards, Tony
