As for the LSA issue- rebooting would have fixed the problem, assuming it was
done by all nodes at the same time. All of the Link State tables would have
been rebuilt from scratch by the IMPs and the corrupt announcements would
have been gone.


Turns out this is actually mentioned on page 14 of RFC 789.




As I recall the IMP software was actually patched to ignore the problematic
announcements from IMP 51.


Not that it matters- but it was IMP 50 not 51.
