Patent attributes
A first network device may determine that a link-state database (LSDB), associated with the first network device, includes a first link-state advertisement (LSA) instance associated with a second network device. The first network device may determine that the first network device has not received a second LSA instance, associated with the second network device, that does not include information identifying a fully adjacent link between the second network device and the first network device. The first network device may receive the second LSA instance associated with the second network device and may transmit, to the second network device, a third LSA instance, associated with the first network device, that includes the information identifying the fully adjacent link between the second network device and the first network device, only after the second LSA instance is received.
