Hi,

Thanks for the reply, it's good to hear some feedback re: valid decoding. I love your scratchpad btw, great stuff.

Here's a five second OSPF headsup if you're interested:

OSPF - Open Shortest Path First, routing protocol that uses the dijkstra algorithm.

LSA - Link State Advertisement, topology-related data sent between routers running OSPF.

LSDB - The Link-State Database, held by routers running OSPF and describes a topology.

Thanks once again, Matt.
