Re: OSPF Distance Vector in the backbone? [7:16120]

While I agree completely with Peter's statements, I think there may be two issues being mingled. Area 0.0.0.0, especially when there are no backbone-only routers, uses a DV-like algorithm to propagate inter-area and exterior routes. There's no use for a Dijkstra. Inside a nonzero area, the Di

Re: OSPF Distance Vector in the backbone? [7:16120]

Hey Ralph, This statement is quite true. Is there an area you wish to break down more fully? For support, see the draft-ietf-ospf-abr-alt-04.txt which includes the following text: In OSPF domains the area topology is restricted so that there must be a backbone area (area 0) and all other ar
