Hello Folks,
Appreciate if someone could clear up this point for me.While I'm reviewing the OSPF, I noticed this issue.
In the ospf Net-type (broadcast,Non-broadcast). The advantages of using the DR/BDR are:
1-Minimize the adjacencies.
2-Minimize LSA replication.
Suppose we have ethernet LAN segment between four routers R1,R2,R3,R4. R1 is DR, R2 is BDR. I know drothers will stay in the 2-way states. When R3 generate LSU it will go for 224.0.0.6 and then DR will replicate this to all multicast ospf routers 224.0.0.5. My question is suppose we don't have the DR. R3 will generate the LSU to 224.0.0.5 (All routers on that LAN segment). So using DR IS NOT giving me the benefit by reducing the LSA replication on the segment. Am I correct? Any thought will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
