As per your draft you exchange the important information first
followed by all ancillary stuff. Now, what you have not spelled out is
whether SPF should get triggered or not when you do the first phase?
If Yes, then you do delay doing the second phase as most OSPF tasks
are monolithic and can only do one thing at a time. So, after some
delayed time you start the subsequent exchanges, is this correct?
