Re: OSPF DR/BDR

Your perceived lack of advantage comes from paying only attention to the
number of packets sent in the network, and not to the whole cost of
mantaining an adjacency.

 From your point of view, having 2 routers or having 100 would cost the
same ? (1 tx per LSU message).

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!
