After sending an LSA to its adjacency, a router waits for an acknowledgment from the adjacency. If no

response is received after the retransmission interval elapses, the router will send the LSA again. The
retransmission interval must be longer than the round-trip time of the LSA.

LSA delay timer

Each LSA has an age in the local link state database (LSDB) (incremented by one per second), but an LSA

does not age on transmission. You must add an LSA delay time into the age time before transmission,

which is important for low-speed networks.

SPF timer

Whenever the LSDB changes, an SPF calculation happens. If recalculations become frequent, a large

amount of resources will be occupied. You can adjust the SPF calculation interval and delay time to

protect networks from being overloaded due to frequent changes.

GR timer

If a failure to establish adjacencies occurs during a GR, the switch will be in the GR process for a long

time. To avoid such cases, configure the GR timer for the switch to exit the GR process when the timer

expires.
