Hey (group), let me know if I'm wrong about this, but the "50" rule is a
generic rule. Whether you can support more or less than that depends on a
few things, like whether you are set up entirely hierarchically or whether
you are looping all over the place, the number of ASBRs, etc. I also am
pretty sure that it has less to do with the horsepower of the routers you
are using and more to do with the protocol itself handling a database with a
certain degree of complexity well, which is the main reason you shouldn't
redistribute BGP into OSSPF.
With proper design, you can probably handle more that 50 routers, and with
poor design, probably fewer. That's just what I have always thought,
though. Any comments would be appreciated.

Subject: OSPF Limits

Hi,
I4m playing around with OSPF last Days preparing for the Lab Exam.
So in practice, when you have not a perfect but a good Design - how "big"
can an OSPF Interwork grow up ? Exist there some practical based Limits ?
I already know that there a many unknown Parameters to take a care of - but
maybe you can give me some scales...
kind regards,
Dietmar
