Abstract
The current OSPF link-state database (LSDB) flooding mechanism involves control-plane processing and forwarding at each hop. The delay due to the involvement of the control-plane adversely affects OSPF convergence. This document describes a mechanism to transmit link-state advertisements (LSA) multiple hops away without involving control-plane processing at the intermediate routers. This helps to achieve faster convergence. It complements the current LSDB flooding mechanism.
