Hi,
Thanks for correcting me on EIGRP (I really don't know much over it).
As to the OSPF split-horizon feature, can you point me to some information
about what it does and why it is needed ?
As far as I understand every OSPF router builds its own link state
database, so there would be no meaning in using split horizon as defined
in http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc2453.html paragraph 3.4.3.
Is this some Cisco proprietary extension/feature ??
Many thanks,
Saverio
