If I remember correctly, yes, Area 0 routers must always have a way to connect to each other. It does not have to be a full mesh (if that is what you mean by contiguous). Three routers in a mesh would be fine if one link broke.
Now, if an area 0 router loses all connectivity to the other Area 0s (in your case, isolate one point of the triangle by losing TWO links), then your network gets borked. You will need a virtual link (if at all possible), or... well... your network is broken? :) > Hi group, > > > > Is there any condition that OSPF area 0 must be contiguous?. > > I remembered read this some where on CCO.
