■

Accept Any – The router does not know of an active BSR, and will

accept the first bootstrap message it sees as giving the new BSR's

identity and the RP-set.

■

Accept Preferred – The router knows the identity of the current

BSR, and is using the RP-set provided by that BSR. Only bootstrap

messages from that BSR or from a C-BSR with higher weight than

the current BSR will be accepted.

■

Candidate BSR – Bidding in election process.

■

Pending-BSR – The router is a candidate to be the BSR for the RP-

set. Currently, no other router is the preferred BSR, but this router

is not yet the elected BSR.

■

Elected BSR – Elected to serve as BSR.
