   Link State Update packets are OSPF packet type 4. These packets implement the flooding of link
   state advertisements. Each Link State Update packet carries a collection of link state
   advertisements one hop further from its origin. Several link state advertisements may be included
   in a single packet.

   Careful – the question is not about LSA types, but OSPF packet types.
   According to https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2328.txt
