That's just the same as with every change of the link state. If the
change is significant (relative change to the last value flooded is
larger than given in the proportional multiplier), then the new value is
flooded.

BTW: There are two possible strategies on when to reserve capacity: You
could

- either allocate resources for a link when the SETUP is received
- or allocate resources when the CONNECT message is received.

To be on the safe side you should normally follow the first approach for
resource allocation. In this case, you also have to release resources,
when the connection will fail at a later stage.

For flooding link states you could also use the second way. Flooded link
states may always be inaccurate (at least in the order given by the
proportional multiplier). So it does not matter, when for the time
between the SETUP and the CONNECT (or RELEASE) the link state
information does not exactrly reflect the link reservations.
