=== LSA format changes === * The LSA type field is changed to 16 bits. ** Add support for handling unknown LSA types ** Three bits are used for encoding flooding scope. * With IPv6, addresses in LSAs are expressed as [[IPv6#Addressing|prefix]] and prefix length. * In router-LSAs and network-LSAs, the address information is removed. * Router-LSAs and network-LSAs are made network-protocol independent. * A new LSA type is added, link-LSA, which provides the router's link-local address to all other routers attached to the logical interface, provides a list of IPv6 prefixes to associate with the link, and can send information that reflect the router's capabilities. * LSA Type-3 summary-LSAs have been renamed "inter-area-prefix-LSAs". * LSA Type-4 summary LSAs have been renamed "inter-area-router-LSAs". * Intra-area-prefix-LSA is added, an LSA that carries all IPv6 prefix information.
