As you can see, the sequence numbers don't match. Is that the problem?
These messages are useful to locate the problem. The problem is not really a sequence number mismatch (this might happen and it is OK), but some subtle bugs in premature aging of LSAs (which happen if router receives an LSA created by its previous instance before restart). I found these bugs several weeks ago but i didn't know that they may cause such problems.
That seems to fit to my problem. It happens only after restart. Is there a workaround to prevent this behaviour?
I hope i will fix these bugs soon.
Is there a way I can help you? Unfortunately, my C-skills are not so good. But I could test with your modifications? Thanks for your help. Best regards Elmar
