        You are correct in the assumption that R4 will not send this
community value to any neighbor, including R3. However, since R3 has no
BGP neighbors besides R4, it wouldn't really accomplish anything to send
him the community values. Were R3 to have another exit point from the
AS, then it would be appropriate to send the community values.

        Correct. Unlike a stub area, the NSSA ABR will not originate a
default into the NSSA by default (no pun intended). To get the NSSA ABR
to generate a default, the syntax is:

"area 12 nssa default-information-originate"

        Yep.

        Yep.

        The "network" statement in IGP doesn't actually mean which
networks you are advertising. It means which interfaces are
participating in the protocol. For example:

Router EIGRP 1
 Network 1.2.3.4 0.0.0.0

This means that only the interface 1.2.3.4 is participating in the EIGRP
domain.

Router EIGRP 1
 Network 0.0.0.0

This means that all interfaces are participating in the EIGRP domain. I
always use 0.0.0.0 for clarity. I suppose it's just a matter of
preference.
