Hi All,

RFC 2740 says
"3.6.  Definition of self-originated LSAs

   In IPv6 the definition of a self-originated LSA has been simplified
   from the IPv4 definition appearing in Sections 13.4 and 14.1 of
   [Ref1]. For IPv6, self-originated LSAs are those LSAs whose
   Advertising Router is equal to the router's own Router ID."

Because the link local address on one link is unique, we also can know the Link-LSA is self-originated if the link local address in the LSA's header is same as the interface's which receives the LSA. It is useful when the router id changes. If we do so, OSPFv3 will work better, won't it?

The details of how dynamic configuration changes are handled have typically not been documented. As an implementer, you are free to take advantage of this assertion above. However, I personally wouldn't do much to optimize for the router ID change event since it should be rare. Rather, I'd optimize to avoid Router ID changes unless necessary.

Thanks,
Acee
