Re: OSPF DBDs

Likely because the Internet once consisted largely of "Switched
56" (etc) serial links. Of course this process actually increases
bandwidth consumption when bringing up a new OSPF router with no other
active links. But in the case of bringing up a link on a router with
many other existing links already in the OSPF domain, bandwidth will
very likely be conserved, as few new full LSAs would be requested/
exchanged.
