This fix is for Type-4 LS updates handling at a ABR router where
ospf daemon is not distributing Type-4 LS updates with correct LS-Age
after learning about a ASBR router in a ospf network. Because of this
Type-5 LS updates are not learnt in ospf network.
Testing Scenario:
This can be re-produced by restarting the ospfd daemon on DUT
(mentioned in figure below)before the Hello time interval expires
for area 0.0.0.1.
____ _______ ____ _________
| | area: 0.0.0.1 | | area: 0.0.0.0 | | area: 0.0.0.2 | |
| R1 |---------------------|DUT/ABR|---------------------| R2 |------------------| R3/ASBR |
|____| x.x.x.0/24 |_______| y.y.y.0/64 |____| z.z.z.0/24 |_________|
In the above setup when ospfd is restarted (imp:before the Hello interval
at R1 expires) and DUT learns about ASBR router R3 (Type-4) in the
network from R2, but this ls-update is not propagates in area
0.0.0.1. So R1 never comes to know about the ASBR router in the
network, so all the type-5 LS updates coming from R3 are not learnt
by R1. Further if we again restart ospfd daemon it starts working fine.
With the fix given this issue can be resolved.
