OSPF Totally Stubby Areas and area default-cost

Hi, I'm confused on the subject of totally stubby areas, and the command "area default-cost". From what I'm reading, one of the qualifications of a totally stubby area is that if multiple exits (ABRs) exist, routing to outside the area does not have to take an optimal path. Does this mean that e

Totally stubby is a cisco nob that takes the concept of a stub area a step further. In a stub area, only LSA types 1 (router) 2 (network) and 3 ( summary) flow within the area. Hence, no routing information concerning prefixes outside of the OSPF domain is injected into the area. In a total

Bob, I'll try to answer your first question below at the expense of possibly clouding the issue: *Question: Does this mean that each router within the area picks the closest ABR as the gateway to everything outside the area,... Well...Yes! OSPF first takes the "shortest path"
