   Wow excellent. I am really confused now from all the responses that I
   have got (as if I needed that)
   I realize that there is a bigger context to the question now.
   OK, this is why I asked the question.
   
   Let us say, we have 4 routers connected to a cloud that does not
   support multicasts.
   Now can we have OSPF run on this imaginary cloud. Basically can we
   have OSPF run without using multicasts if we have explicit neighbors
   specified.
   
   Will post my test results later.
   Thanks

   Hi group,
   
   Lets say we configure neighors explicitly in the ospf router process.
   
   Does this mean, OSPF will not use multicasting from this point onwards
   and do all communications using the specified unicasts?? How about for
   DR/BDR election process?
   
   
   
   I am going to try this now and use some debugs. I will let u people
   know the results. Thought I would find out if somebody had already
   spent some time on this
   
   
   
   Thanks
