Tuning and optimizing OSPFv3 networks
This section describes configurations of OSPFv3 timers, interface DR priority, MTU check
ignorance for DD packets, and disabling interfaces from sending OSPFv3 packets.
The following are OSPFv3 timers:
•
Packet timer: Specified to adjust topology convergence speed and network load
•
LSA delay timer: Specified especially for low-speed links
•
SPF timer: Specified to protect networks from being over-loaded due to frequent network
changes
For a broadcast network, you can configure DR priorities for interfaces to affect DR or BDR
election.
By disabling an interface from sending OSPFv3 packets, you can make other routers on the
network obtain no information from the interface.
