Do you think the decode looks okay?

I have no idea what OSPF, LSDB or LSA means. All I know is that your data is consistent with your dump.

    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.
