On a non broadcast network, using the keyword "neighbour" will allow the DR to start the adjacency with the indicated neighbours. Once the adjacency is completed, all ospf traffic between neighbours will be unicast. Therefore on such networks, you do not need to add the keyword "broadcast" on the frame-relay map statement for OSPF to work.
[ However not having the keyword broadcast may affect other network functions that depend on the broadcast traffic, therefore it is a good idea to put the keyword "broadcast" in the frame-map statement]. Any flaw in my logic? Evidence: (you can see here that r1 is sending to r2 (10.10.1.2 ) , r3 (10.10.1.3) and r5 (10.10.10.5) via unicast. You can see that r2 is responded with unicast. r1#debug ip pac 08:26:51: IP: s=10.10.1.1 (local), d=10.10.1.3 (Serial0/0.1), len 76, sending 08:26:51: IP: s=10.10.1.1 (local), d=10.10.1.5 (Serial0/0.1), len 76, sending 08:26:51: IP: s=10.10.1.1 (local), d=10.10.1.2 (Serial0/0.1), len 76, sending 08:26:51: IP: s=10.1.1.1 (local), d=224.0.0.5 (Ethernet0/0), len 64, sending broad/multica r1#debug frame pack int ser 0/0.1 08:32:51: Serial0/0.1(o): dlci 103(0x1871), NLPID 0x3CC(IP), datagramsize 80 08:32:51: Serial0/0.1(o): dlci 105(0x1891), NLPID 0x3CC(IP), datagramsize 80 08:32:51: Serial0/0.1(o): dlci 102(0x1861), NLPID 0x3CC(IP), datagramsize 80 --- on R2# 08:43:16: IP: s=10.10.1.1 (Serial0/0), d=10.10.1.2, len 76, rcvd 0 08:43:25: IP: s=10.10.1.2 (local), d=10.10.1.1 (Serial0/0), len 68, sending 08:43:25: IP: s=137.20.20.1 (local), d=224.0.0.5 (Ethernet0/0), len 64, sending broad/mult icast ------------------------- router configuration -------- r1#show run int ser 0/0.1 Building configuration...
