Re: FLSM has longer mask than VLSM Probl.

Tony,
      The question is "why exactly do you need the "172.16.80.0" route in
the r6 RIB? You should have the classfull "172.16.0.0" which should provide
connectivity(i.e ping, traceroute)to r8. What requirement/benifit would
this achieve. I would think the issue here is getting the
r6-r3(172.16.100.0/27) into the r8 RIB to achieve full connectivity. Now
getting this to happen would be interesting.. :->

Can you from r8 ping the s1 interface of r3? See Inline...

NT: In a non-production enviroment you might consider disabling the "ip
classless and check out the effect on the longer FLSM you mentioned.

NT: the emphasis here would not be in using the x.x.80.x network but using
the same mask so that the interface will pass route info with the /25.

NT: I wouldn't rule that out. The issue here is all the connections are on
the 17.16.0.0 classfull boundary. OSPF won't have an issue with this but
IGRP will as you've noticed.
