Hi,

 

It helps, thanks.

 

But the Kou draft 
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kou-ospf-immediately-replying-hello/ ) 
also mentions two other situations where immediate hellos must be sent: after 
state changes from “2-Way” or greater down to “Init” (case 2), and after DR 
election (case 3). Do you know if these cases are also implemented?

 

Thanks.

 

Rui

Hi Rui, 

 

It is not a standard. However, it is a technique used by many implementations 
to speed adjacency formation when a hello packet is received and the neighbor 
state is less than two-way. At least one of the implementations with witch with 
I have been associated would unicast the hello. 

 

Hope this helps, 

Acee

Subject: [OSPF] Immediate Replying Hello

 

Hi,

 

Many OSPF implementations include the Immediate Replying Hello feature, which I 
believe is not standard.

 

The only reference I found is the draft “Update to OSPF Hello procedure, 
draft-kou-ospf-immediately-replying-hello-02.txt” which has expired.

 

Are vendors following what is written in this draft? Is there a document from 
any vendor that details this feature? 

 

Thanks.

 

Rui Valadas
