Subject: Re: [OSPF] Immediate Replying Hello

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?

While there are other cases where hellos are sent other than on a timer, I 
don’t know of these cases being implemented.

Thanks,
Acee


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
