That's what I thought. Here's what I got from Boson: ... Routers are not in areas, router interfaces are. Thus, the router terminating the virtual link in your diagram has an interface in the stub area and an interface in area 7 (a non-stub area). There is no reason that a router with an interface in area 7 cannot terminate a virtual link across area 7 to area 0. The fact that it also has an interface in a stub area is really of little consequence ... essentially, the virtual link is conceptually a bit like a tunnel interface for OSPF protocol traffic only (routed traffic travels normally) that connects with the distant area (area 0 in this example). To expand on the concept of the virtual link as a tunnel, see
