The neighbor relationship is up. show ip ospf neighbor reports FULL, no flapping, no retransmissions...

OSPF's DR/BDR election on a broadcast segment is a filter, a max(), and a tie-break — read it as three lines of Python instead of a bullet list.

OSPF's neighbor state machine reads as two separate gates in code: Hello-phase booleans decide Init/2-Way/ExStart, and database-exchange inputs decide Loading/Full.

Reading OSPF's Hello check as code: the five fields that must match before a neighbor relationship can even begin, and why seeing your own router ID changes everything.

When a link stays up but forwarding silently dies, OSPF alone waits 40 seconds to notice. Add BFD and the same failure is detected in ~900 ms — here's a hands-on lab that proves it.

Build a three-router OSPF triangle, watch every router flood the same link-state map, see SPF pick the cheapest path by cost, then kill the best link and watch it reconverge automatically.
