DD Sequence Number
User to sequence the collection of Database Description Packets.
The initial value (indicated by the Initial bit being set) should be
unique. The DD sequence number then increments until the
complete database description has been sent.
The rest of the packet consists of a list of the topological database’s pieces. Each link state advertisement in the database is
described by its link state advertisement header.
Link-State Request Packet
Link-State Request packets are OSPF packet type 3. After exchanging Database Description packets with a neighboring
router, a router may find that parts of its topological database are out of date. The Link-State Request packet is used to
request the pieces of the neighbor’s database that are more up to date. Multiple Link-State Request packets may need to be
used. The sending of Link-State Request packets is the last step in bringing up an adjacency.
A router that sends a Link-State Request packet has in mind the precise instance of the database pieces it is requesting,
defined by LS sequence number, LS checksum, and LS age, although these fields are not specified in the Link-State
Request packet itself. The router may receive even more recent instances in response.

Each advertisement requested is specified by its Link-State Type, Link-State ID, and Advertising Router. This uniquely
identifies the advertisement, but not its instance. Link-State Request packets are understood to be requests for the most
recent instance.
Link-State Update Packet
Link-State Update packets are OSPF packet type 4. These packets implement the flooding of link-state advertisements.
Each Link-State Update packet carries a collection of link-state advertisements one hop further from its origin. Several
link-state advertisements may be included in a single packet.
Link-State Update packets are multicast on those physical networks that support multicast/broadcast. In order to make the
flooding procedure reliable, flooded advertisements are acknowledged in Link-State Acknowledgment packets. If
retransmission of certain advertisements is necessary, the retransmitted advertisements are always carried by unicast Link-
State Update packets.
The format of the Link-State Update packet is shown below:
