The slave will not set the M-bit to zero until it's database has been sent. The master will keep sending a DD packet with a new sequence number and the M-bit to zero, and the slave will keep sending a DD packet in reply with the same sequence number and with LSA headers from it's database included but it will not change the M-bit to zero until the entire database has been sent. At that point it will reply with a DD packet with the M-bit set to zero and the master will know that the exchange process is complete. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
