You're pretty much there. To clarify, transit AS's use only fully meshed IBGP (assuming scalability techniques like Route Reflection and Confederations also in use) and usually peer internally via loopback addresses for stability and as you correctly point out, use the IGP to distribute reachabil

There's not much point in putting the loopbacks in their own area unless you're in a lab scenario and trying to make a bigger, more complicated network. ..At least not that I can think of. However, there is definitely a usefulness for loopback interfaces in OSPF -- use them to set your RIDs (use
