As I understand it, there are two types of ispf:

  * ISPF where the LSDB changes are type5 LSA i.e. at the leaves of the 
SPF tree, which can be done incrementally. I believe both IOS and JunOS 
do this by default?

  * the "extra" ispf that the Cisco IOS command does, which applies to 
type1/2 LSA changes:

Does JunOS do both or only the former?
