LSAs in link state protocols

fjcardenas-1

Lets say we have a stable network and we are using a link-state routing protocol. Then something fails. Will the routers reflood ALL LSAs when one LSA changes or only refloods the changed LSAs?

Only the LSA's that have changed will be advetised out. That is one of the big advantages of OSPF in that only affected links are advertised rather than the entire OSPF database.
