Issues with large OSPF nets
• Frequent SPF calculations
• Large routing table
• Large link-state table (topological
database)

OSPF uses “Areas”
• Hierarchical
– separate large internetworks (autonomous system)
into smaller internetworks, called areas.
• Routing between the areas (called inter-area
routing),
• Routing within an area: intra-area
• But many of the smaller internal routing
operations are restricted within an area.
• Hide unnecessary information, e.g. summarise

OSPF Router Types

6
OSPF Router Types
Internal: Routers with all their interfaces within the
same area
Backbone: Routers with at least one interface
connected to area 0
ASBR: (Autonomous System Boundary Router):
Routers that have at least one interface connected
to an external internetwork (another autonomous
system)
ABR: (Area Border Router): Routers with interfaces
attached to multiple areas.

LSA
• Link State Advertisement
– Sent in a LSU (Link State Update)
• Flooding = information distribution within an area
• Different types of information
– External route (outside the OSPF AS)
– Summary routes
– Inter-area routes (from different area but same OSPF AS)
– Intra-area routes (from same area and same OSPF AS)

LSA Types
• See online material: chpt: 5.1.3
Version 2002-1
© 2002, Svenska-CNAP / Halmstad University.
9
LSA Types
LSA1 contain the Router Link States, from all routers
LSA2 contain the Net Link States, from the DR
Intra-area routes (O)
LSA3 contain the Summary Net Link States, from ABR
(describes routes within AS)
LSA4 contain the AS Summary Net Link States, from ASBR
(describes routes to ASBR)
Inter-area routes (O IA)
LSA5 contain external route information (E1 or E2),from ASBR
LSA7 contain NSSA External Link Entry, from ASBR
translated into LSA5 at the ABR
Version 2002-1
© 2002, Svenska-CNAP / Halmstad University.
10
LSA Types (con’t)
• Type 6 MOSPF (Multicast OSPF) Not
supported by Cisco.
– MOSPF enhances OSPF by letting routers use
their link-state databases to build multicast
distribution trees for the forwarding of
multicast traffic.
Version 2002-1
© 2002, Svenska-CNAP / Halmstad University.
11
LSA Types (con’t)
• Type 7
NSSA External Link Entry
– Originated by an ASBR connected to an
NSSA.

Version 2002-1
Type 7 messages can be flooded throughout
NSSAs and translated into LSA Type 5
messages by ABRs. Routes learned via Type-7
LSAs are denoted by either a “N1” or and “N2”
in the routing table. (Compare to E1 and E2).

12
Area Types
• Standard
(accept all LSAs)
• Backbone
(accept all LSAs)
• Stub area
(not accept all LSAs)
– Stub
– Totally Stubby Area (TSA)
– Not-so-stubby-area (NSSA)
• Difference in what LSAs they accept......

Area Types - differences
– What LSAs that may be flooded=>

What info an area can know (hide info!!)
– External routes are injected into OSPF by
ASBR: LSA5
Version 2002-1

Type 1 (E1): cost metric increments as route is
passed through OSPF domain

Type 2 (E2): cost metric remains the same as
route is passed through OSPF domain

Configuring Areas
• stub = Stub area
– LSA3,4 OK,
LSA5 not OK
• stub + no summary = Totally stubby area
– LSA3,4 and 5 not OK
• NSSA = Not so stubby area
– LSA3,4 OK,
LSA5 not OK,
LSA7 OK
• NSSA + no summary = NSSA totally stubby area..
– LSA3,4 and 5 not OK

Virtual Links
• A virtual link has the following two
requirements:
– It must be established between two routers
that share a common area.
– One of these two routers must be connected
to the backbone.

OSPF Area Types
• Backbone area (Area 0) – A transit area, the central entity to which
all other areas connect, all other areas must connect to this area to
exchange route information. Accepts all LSAs.
• Stub area - Area that does not accept information about routes
external to the autonomous system (AS), such as routes from nonOSPF sources. If routers need to reach networks outside the AS,
they use a default route. Does not accept LSAs.
• Totally stubby area - Area that does not accept external AS routes
and summary routes from other areas internal to the AS. Does not
accept external or summary LSAs. A totally proprietary Cisco
feature that uses a default route to reach networks outside the AS.
• Not-so-stubby areas - Area that is similar to a stub area but allows
for importing external routes as Type 7 LSAs and translation of
specific Type 7 LSA routes into Type 5 LSAs.
