8.17.2 Link State Database
A router maintains a separate link state database for every area to which it
belongs.
The router adds LSAs to the database in the following cases:
When the router receives an LSA, for example during the flooding
process.
When the router originates the LSA.
Whenever a router deletes an LSA from the database, then remove the LSA
from the link state retransmission lists of the other routers in the network. A
router deletes an LSA from its database in the following cases:
A newer instance overwrites the LSA during the flooding process.
The router originates a newer instance of a self-originated LSA.
The LSA ages out and the router flushes the LSA from the routing domain.
