External LSA Checksum The sum of the LS checksums of the external LSAs contained in the link
state database. This sum can be used to determine if there was a
change in a router's link state database, and to compare the link state
databases of two routers.
New LSAs Originated In any given OSPFv3 area, a router originates several LSAs. Each router
originates a router-LSA. If the router is also the designated router for any
of the area's networks, it originates network-LSAs for those networks.
This value represents the number of LSAs originated by this router
.
LSAs Received The number of LSAs received that were determined to be new
instantiations. This number does not include newer instantiations of
self-originated LSAs.
