Hi Joseph, 

It depends on whether the self-originated LSA is more recent. If is less
recent (as defined in section 13.1 of RFC 2328), it will be ignored. If it is
more recent, a new LSA with the correct cost and a larger sequence number 
is originated. Note that the LSA interpreted as being equal due to fact that 
the differing costs will result in different checksums.

Hope this helps,
Acee

  Thanks Manish,

  Qn 2) If R1 comes across a self-originated Summary LSA for the same Network in \
                Area2 with a lower cost, what should it do?
           >> Intra area route will always be preferred over Inter Area Route \
irrespective of cost.

  Would R1: 

  1)    Generate a new summary LSA into the Backbone with the lower cost?
  2)    Maxage this summary LSA (the one with the lower cost) and generate a new one \
into the backbone?  3)    Simply regenerate the LSA with the right cost into the \
backbone?  4)    Ignore the LSA with the lowercost and Do Nothing.

      Hi All,

      Consider this topology:


      [Area 0] - - - - R1 - - - - [Area 2] - - - - R2 - - - - [Area 0]


      When R1 receives a Network LSA from an internal router in Area 2, it summarises \
it into Area 0.  This Summary LSA is seen by R2 since it has an interface in the \
backbone.

      Qn 1) Will R2 import this Summary LSA into Area 2? 
      [Manish Gupta] R2 will not import this summary LSA in Area 2 since it has an \
INTRA Area route through Area 2 for summary network.

      Qn 2) If R1 comes across a self-originated Summary LSA for the same Network in \
                Area2 with a lower cost, what should it do?
               Intra area route will always be preferred over Inter Area Route \
irrespective of cost.



      Regards,
      Joseph Placid
