"remain unchanged" from what ? is that sentence from RFC *2740*, isn't
it ?

What I'm talking about is not the difference between OSPFv2 and
OSPFv3.

I said "original OSPFv2 (and hence also OSPFv3) specification is
ambiguous about whether to apply MinLSInterval when purging of LSA
(i.e. premature aging)".

Am I missing something ?

yasu
