The following errata report has been held for document update for RFC2328, "OSPF Version 2".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7850 -------------------------------------- Status: Held for Document Update Type: Technical Reported by: Alfred Lindem <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2024-03-15 Held by: Gunter Van de Velde (IESG) Section: 10.7/A.3.5 Original Text ------------- Section 10.7 Each LSA specified in the Link State Request packet should be located in the router's database, and copied into Link State Update packets for transmission to the neighbor. These LSAs should NOT be placed on the Link state retransmission list for the neighbor. If an LSA cannot be found in the database, something has gone wrong with the Database Exchange process, and neighbor event BadLSReq should be generated. Section A.3.5 Link State Update packets are multicast on those physical networks that support multicast/broadcast. In order to make the flooding procedure reliable, flooded LSAs are acknowledged in Link State Acknowledgment packets. If retransmission of certain LSAs is necessary, the retransmitted LSAs are always sent directly to the neighbor. For more information on the reliable flooding of LSAs, consult Section 13. Corrected Text -------------- Section 10.7 Each LSA specified in the Link State Request packet should be located in the router's database, and copied into Link State Update packets for transmission directly to the neighbor, i.e., unicast on all interface types except point-to-point interfaces where all OSPF packets are sent to the address AllSPFRouters. These LSAs should NOT be placed on the Link state retransmission list for the neighbor. If an LSA cannot be found in the database, something has gone wrong with the Database Exchange process, and neighbor event BadLSReq should be generated. Section A.3.5 Link State Update packets are multicast on those physical networks that support multicast/broadcast. In order to make the flooding procedure reliable, flooded LSAs are acknowledged in Link State Acknowledgment packets. If retransmission of certain LSAs is necessary, the retransmitted LSAs are always sent directly to the neighbor. For more information on the reliable flooding of LSAs, consult Section 13. Link State Update packets are also sent directly to the neighbor in response to Link State Request packets as specified in Section 10.7. Notes ----- Clarification that OSPF Link State Updates sent in response to OSPF Link Requests should be unicast. -------------------------------------- RFC2328 (no draft string recorded) -------------------------------------- Title : OSPF Version 2 Publication Date : April 1998 Author(s) : J.
