OSPF is a link-state intra-domain routing protocol used in IP networks.
Routers find new and detect unreachable neighbors via Hello subprotocol.
Hello OSPF packets are also used to ensure two-way connectivity within
time. When a router restarts its OSPF software, it may not know its
neighbors. If such a router sends a hello packet on an interface, its
neighbors are going to reset the adjacency, which may not be desirable in
certain conditions. This memo describes a vendor specific mechanism that
allows OSPF routers to inform their neighbors about the restart process.
Note that this mechanism requires support from neighboring routers.
