A distributed algorithm computing a flooding topology must only operate upon nodes running the same algorithm (and version). If multiple algorithms (and/or versions) are running in the same network, then any given algorithm and version defines a subgraph and the algorithm can only optimize flooding within its own subgraph. Legacy full flooding must be used between subgraphs of different algorithms or versions.
This is a new requirement for the flooding algorithm itself. This does not exist with the existing leader based election, as that guarantees that only one optimized flooding algorithm is ever present in the area. Note that combining routers that run the elected optimized algorithm with routers that do run the regular flooding is not a problem.
