=== LSA format changes ===
* The LSA type field is changed to 16 bits.
** Add support for handling unknown LSA types
** Three bits are used for encoding flooding scope.
* With IPv6, addresses in LSAs are expressed as [[IPv6#Addressing|prefix]] and prefix length.
* In router-LSAs and network-LSAs, the address information is removed.
* Router-LSAs and network-LSAs are made network-protocol independent.
* A new LSA type is added, link-LSA, which provides the router's link-local address to all other routers attached to the logical interface, provides a list of IPv6 prefixes to associate with the link, and can send information that reflect the router's capabilities.
* LSA Type-3 summary-LSAs have been renamed "inter-area-prefix-LSAs".
* LSA Type-4 summary LSAs have been renamed "inter-area-router-LSAs".
* Intra-area-prefix-LSA is added, an LSA that carries all IPv6 prefix information.
