[Xorp-users] Disabling OSPF LSA flooding in XORP

[Emi]

Hi

An equivalent cisco command is

 Router(config-if)#ip ospf flood-reduction.

A description can be found here: 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_1t/12_1t2/feature/guide/dt_ospff.html#wp1015363
If I understand this command correctly, it causes the router to send all 
LSAs with the DoNotAge bit set.

Thanks for your fast reply.
