lsp-refresh-interval
Set the link state PDU (LSP) refresh interval. LSPs must be refreshed before they expire. When the LSPs are
not refreshed after a refresh interval, they are kept in a database until their max-lsp-lifetime reaches
zero and then LSPs is purged.

Usage
Information
The refresh interval determines the rate at which route topology information is
transmitted preventing the information from becoming obsolete.
The refresh interval must be less than the LSP lifetime specified with the max-lsp-
lifetime
command. A low value reduces the amount of time that undetected link
state database corruption can persist at the cost of increased link utilization. A
higher value reduces the link utilization the flooding of refreshed packets causes.
