Hi

I have query related to OSPF Graceful Restart.

Consider this scenario:

 

- Three Routers R1, R2 and R3 connected via Broadcast networks.

 

 

- Where R1 is a DR on both the segments, where as R2 and R3 are in DR-other
- Now R1 wants to perform GR, R2 and R3 agrees to be its Helpers.
- Now after restart R1 will try to form adjacency with both R2 and R3.
- Lets say R1 and R2 had become FULL, while R1 and R3 had reached Exstart state.   Now at this time R2 receives an LSA (any type 1-5 and 7, from some other router existing in the same area, not pictured here) which he needs to flood to R1.
- This will force R2 to quit Helper Status, while R1 and R3 are still in process of forming adjacency.

Considering above scenario, my doubts are:

- How will R1 come to know that its Helper R2 has quit?
- Will the adjacency between R1 and R2 needs to go down, as R2 quits helper mode?
- Will this effect the adjacency formation of R1 and R3?

Aamir
