OSPF – LSInfinity != LSInfinity
LSInfinity has two different values I have mentioned ‘LSInfinity’ in the max-metric post and in an earlier post on withdrawing OSPF routes. However if you look closely at each post you’ll see that LSinfinity had a different value in each of those posts . What gives? It turns out that the term LSinfinity has been overloaded somewhat in the RFCs and has different values and meanings for different LSAs.
