In the ACRC book (page 200), the author shows the 10.64.0.1/24
network being placed into an area 0 with the command:

                network 10.64.0.1 0.0.0.0 area 0

Why is the wild card mask 0.0.0.0 used and not a mask
which matches the actual manner in which the network
has been subneted?  Is there any difference to the operation
of the router, area, OSPF, or area routing if the above was
changed to:

                network 10.64.0.1 0.0.0.255 area 0

?

If the above two forms result in identical operation,
why is the wild card mask required?

Thanks,
Brian
