Pretty much irrelevant. There is no practical limit to area size from a number
of routers perspective. It all comes down to processing power required to sup
port the topology. This varies on things like, number of areas per router, lin
k stability, quantity of summaries/externals etc. One segments when it makes s
ense to do so which can often be a need to aggregate vs a scalability concern.
