Alvaro I do not mind too much the transient inconsistencies but more about longer term inconsistencies (1) hence my question about simulations / tests in the absence of mathematical proof.
The R-bit has always been in OSPFv3 (AFAIK), so, OSPFv3 does not have the same issue. -éric (1) having some routers being H-bit aware and other routers not processing the H-bit could probably introduce long term inconsistencies and loops.

Yes, as with other operations in a network (reconvergence, for example), there is a risk of transient inconsistency. §5 already makes recommendations to mitigate transient states. What explicitly are you looking for to address your DISCUSS? I'll let the authors reply about tests/simulations. Thanks!
