OSPF annomoly

I have OSPF setup on an interface and a policy that allows OSPF from any to any .

But I see a lot of aged-out / unknown log entries and some are with 0 bytes

is this normal .. OSPF seems to be stable, but it very strange ..

'Aged out' sessions would be perfectly normal as many OSPF messages are not acknowledged (e.g. multicast hellos)

0 byte sessions might be normal if you are logging on initiation.

We need more info.

Sorry just logging on end of session.

Again I would have thought a next gen firewall with all of these extra capabilities ... that can actually do OSPF would understand when a session of OSPF had aged out. I don't see the VR dropping all its learned routes because it understands OSPF, I would have thought the fw component would to.
