Subject: RFC 1765 Newton Book
A version of RFC 1765 in Newton book format.
An abstract of RFC 1765 follows:
Proper operation of the OSPF protocol requires that all OSPF routers
maintain an identical copy of the OSPF link-state database. However, when
the size of the link-state database becomes very large, some routers may be
unable to keep the entire database due to resource shortages; we term this
"database overflow". When database overflow is anticipated, the routers
with limited resources can be accommodated by configuring OSPF stub areas
and NSSAs. This memo details a way of gracefully handling unanticipated
database overflows.
