Partial Topology Options:MPR Full Link State

• Mechanism:
  
  
  • a node, selected as MPR, transmits its full local link state information.
    
    
• Goal:
  
  
  • "when we transmit anyways, let's transmit as much as possible";
    
    
  • increase topological information in the network.
    
    
• Cost:
  
  
  • increased control traffic overhead (size of messages).
