pimd: Stop DR election on every hello
The DR election is occurring on every hello received.
This is because the hello receive packet returns a 0
for any successfully received packet. PIMD then looked
at the 0 returned and did a DR election.
Code was inspected for the cases where DR should happen:
(A) Interface ip address change
(B) DR priority in hello packet changes
(C) Received a new neighbor on an interface
(D) Neighbor timer pops.
Each of these initiate a DR election in the code currently.
Testing was initiated on a pim network:
tor-11# show ip pim designated-router
NonPri: Number of neighbors missing DR Priority hello option
Interface Address DR Uptime Elections Changes NonPri
br1 20.0.15.1 20.0.15.1 00:08:16 1 1 0
swp1 169.254.0.10 169.254.0.10 00:08:16 2 1 0
swp2 169.254.0.26 169.254.0.26 00:08:16 2 1 0
tor-11#
As you can see Elections == 2. This is because pimd performs
an election on (A) and (C) above. I see no need to modify
(A) to check if we have any knowledge of the interface before
this call.
