Re: [f-nsp] Next SPF run wait

Hi,

this looks like an integer overflow and could be a bug. SPF will never 
run with  minus timer and I wonder which condition will trigger this.

What versions are your running?

I would start with
debug ospf  <spf, adj, bfd, error)
show cpu-utilization detail | include ospf
show ip os neighbor

and maybe try and set different timers and then restart the router?
E.g.
router ospf
timers throttle spf 5 1000 90000
