the ospf_basic_functionality/test_ospf_lan.py script is setting
up a lan env that will have 4 ospf routers on it and shutting/no
shutting interfaces with various priorities to see that ospf
is properly choosing roles. I am consistently seeing the
ospf_basic_functionality/test_ospf_lan.py script failing
where it is saying a neighbor is not in the correct state.
Upon examination of the logs we are seeing this:

This test is setting the dead interval to 4 seconds, seeing a 6 second delay where the os has gone to town
(probably because of the high load on the system ) and not choosing the correct neighbor as the DR.
OSPF when coming up and after seeing the first neighbor, goes into a waiting period before
the DR is elected. If the neighbor does send it's hello packets but they are not processed
before the wait timer pops because of the starvation event, then the wrong neighbor
will be elected DR. Let's give this test a bit more time to decide who the
DR is in case everything goes a bit south.
