I notice something weird in my 30-node setup. 28 of my routers are up and functioning and in 'FULL' state. One had to be restarted because it had port conflicts with another. Now, the restarted one is not able to sync with it's peers. It seems to me that the problem is that during 'Loading' state, there is too much traffic and it crowds out the hello messages (I am running this over an emulated lower bandwidth and high latency link.)
Should we consider an LS Update to be as good as a Hello message when trying to determine the 'Alive' status of a neighbor? Here is a snippet of a tshark dump for one of the interfaces on this router: 0.090164 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.090211 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.090261 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.100697 10.2.3.3 -> 10.2.3.2 OSPF LS Acknowledge 0.109600 10.2.3.3 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.136957 10.2.3.3 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.140972 10.2.3.3 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.143208 10.2.3.3 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.179049 10.2.3.3 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.182767 10.2.3.3 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.216704 10.2.3.3 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.229887 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Acknowledge 0.229942 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.229992 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.230042 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.230087 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.230132 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Acknowledge 0.230175 10.2.3.2 -> 10.2.3.3 OSPF LS Acknowledge 0.230223 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update 0.230269 10.2.3.2 -> 224.0.0.5 OSPF LS Update Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com _______________________________________________ Xorp-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.ICSI.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/xorp-hackers
