A customer reported some problems with OSPF being very slow to go to
'Full' state.
Turns out, there was a retransmit timer bug in ospf. It's been there
for a while, probably back to at least 1.7
Anyway, it appears to be fixed now. So, if anyone had any issues with
OSPF being slow to converge, please try out the top-of-tree and see
if it works better for you.
And of course everyone else is invited to try it as well,
and let me know if you see any funny-ness.
I also attempted some logging optimization. I believe the old code
would compute all of the logging data arguments (like if you had
XLOG_TRACE(true, "%s", foo.str().c_str()), then foo.str() would be
called even if tracing was disabled).
I think I have that fixed as well. Should make things perform
better, but at a cost of slightly larger executables.
Thanks,
Ben
