Hi all,
I need a clarification regarding the use of the O bit in OSPF's hello
packets (rfcs 2328 + 2370).
Should (or must) an opaque capable router set the O bit to 1 in his Hello
packets?
Unfortunately, RFC 2320 only describes usage of the O bit in database
description packets.
Hence, this is left unspecified.
Let's say I have an OSPF router that must use opaque objects in order work
correctly.
Is it correct/allowable if this router rejects a neighbour because it
doesn't set the O bit in the Hello packet it transmits?
No - this wouldn't be backward compatible since this isn't specified in
RFC 2370.
Thanks,
Acee
thank you
