A single area can be any number. If this was not the case then imagine if an
area has only a single ABR and that router goes down. You now have a
disconnected area and in effect it is a single area network - it doesn't
stop working because there is no area 0.

Subject: Area 0
Hi All,
I have a quick question, while reading Bruce Caslow I
came across the following statement (page 387)
"Every valid OSPF configuration must have an area 0,
so if you use only single OSPF area for your entire
network, it must be area 0".
Whereas in Jeff Doyle volume 1 on page 517, it is
written that "Single area does not have to be area 0".
So which one is correct?
Regards.
