RE: OSPF Stub VS EIGRP Stub

Another important notes about the EIGRP Stub Area is that it helps to
control query boundaries.
Stub areas respond to queries with the "inaccessible" message. Also the
neighboring routers, upon learning that the router is a stub, will no longer
query that router for routes.

EIGRP Stub Area should be non-transit area as well. You can setup a router
that has multiple connections as a Stub area, however I have had problems
when using STUB on a router with more than three PVCs setup.

The typical setup that I have working is only EIGRP STUB CONNECTED for
remote sites that have connections back to 1-3 hub sites. I have seen that
my topology table has reduced in size, thus increasing my free memory and
decreasing convergence time.

I believe OSPF stubs aren't allowed connections to external AS's. You can't
have an ASBR in a stub area.

NSSA's exist to get stub area action that allows an ASBR.

OSPF stub areas won't allow outgoing external LSAs either unless it's a
NSSA.
