[Xorp-hackers] OSPF not recomputing routes when neighbor "down"

[Andy Bavier]

Hi,

When XORP's OSPF decides a neighbor is "down" because it has stopped 
responding to Hello packets, I would expect that it would recompute 
routes and send out new LSAs.  However, this isn't happening: if a 
neighbor crashes, XORP marks it as "down" after 30 seconds... but then 
no other action is taken.

This problem is similar to Bug 387, which handles the case when the link 
actually goes down -- but here the link is still up and the neighbor is 
down.  The fix to Bug 387 was pretty simple.  Can someone suggest a 
similar bug fix for a neighbor going down?  I'm not familiar enough with 
the XORP code to figure out the right change myself.

Thanks,
Andy
