Dear all, 

We have submitted a new version of draft-dong-ospf-maxage-flush-problem-statement. 

This draft analyzed the scenarios of MaxAge LSA flushing, and the impact of flushing storm to the network and services. 

Comments are welcome.

Best regards,
Jie

Abstract:
   In OSPF protocol, Link State Advertisements (LSAs) are exchanged in
   Link State Update (LSU) packets to achieve link state database (LSDB)
   synchronization and consistent route calculation.  OSPF protocol
   specifies several scenarios in which an LSA is flushed with the LS
   age field set to MaxAge.  In some cases, the flushing of MaxAge LSAs
   may cause flooding storm of OSPF packets and severely impact the
   services provided by the network.

   This document describes the problem of OSPF LSA flushing, and ask for
   solutions to solve this problem.
