+   area besides one virtual link, will not put any VL descriptor blocks into
+   the Router-LSA generated for area 0 until a full adjacency over the VL is
+   reached (RFC2328 12.4.1.3). In this case the Router-LSA initially received
+   by the other end of the VL will have 0 link descriptor blocks, but soon will
+   be replaced with the next revision having 1 descriptor block. */
