Howard,
You might be able to clarify the OSPF RFC for me on this one. RFC 2328
talks about a routing table, and routing table entries (section 11). So
does Doyle. My interpretation of this was that they are both referring to
a routing table internal to OSPF, separate from the overall routing table
that includes all statics, OSPF, etc etc routes.
So if OSPF *doesn't* have it's own routing table as such... are they really
both referring to the overall routing table? Or are they referring to a
temporary structure that is set up and thrown out each time the SPF
algorithm runs?

'show

As far as I know, the only routing protocol that really keeps its own
routing table is BGP.
You might see OSPF's routes with a debug, but essentially, it
computes routes from the LSDB, sends them to the routing table
manager, and then forgets the specific intra-area routes. Inter-area
and external routes do have LSDB entries that correspond to the
route, but there isn't a routing table in the sense you describe.
