Hi Les,

Thank you for your comments.
OSPF does include the LSDB sync requirement. But OSPF state machine does not 
guarantee the two routers attain FULL state at the same time.

R1(restart)------R2------R3

R1 LSDB: R1's new router-LSA, seq 80000001
R2 LSDB: R1's old router-LSA, seq 80000500

When R1 restarts from an unplanned outage, R1 will reinitialize its LSA 
sequence number. But R2 has the previous copies of R1's LSA, which has larger 
sequence number.
R2 thinks its local LSAs are "newer". So, R2 will attain FULL state, without 
requesting R1 to update.
This may cause temporary blackholes to occur until R1 regenerates and floods 
its own LSAs with higher sequence numbers.

Thanks,
Mengxiao

+1 to what Acee has said.

As historical context, the SA bit was defined in IS-IS precisely because IS-IS 
adjacency state machine does NOT include LSPDB sync as a requirement before the 
adjacency is usable (unlike OSPF).
OSPF does not need SA bit.
