Guys,
I wonder if their is anybody who remembers the discussion on Virtual
Links in OSPF. It was posted some time ago but I can't seem to find it.
The scenario was something like this:
________ _______ _______
|Area 0| |Area1| |Area2|
| R0 |--| R1 |--| R2 |
|______| |_____| |_____|
There is a virtual link from area 2 to Area 0 via Area1. Traffic needs to
get to R1 in Area 1 from R2 in Area 2. Assume that the virtual link has to
use R1 (To create the V.Link). Does the traffic flow passed R1 (in Area 1)
to Area 0 and then back to area 1, or does the actuall flow just to R1 from
R2.
I cant remember the conclusion, and I cant seem to find it on the archives.
Quite interesting issues.
Regards,
Andy
