I inspected the code for behaviour in the case you outlined. I think our
dropping policy might be a bit too strict. I suggest the following behaviour:

* New OGMs are processed and rebroadcasted as usual.
* Known OGMs (the sequence number is not new but we did not hear this sequence
number via that neighbor) are processed and rebroadcasted as well.
* Duplicates (known sequence number via a neighbor that sent us this sequence
number before are dropped.

Objections / ideas ?
