Take a look at this, Ken. It's RFC 2328 for OSPF version 2. This should
clear it up for you. It did for me.

  Hi Guys,

  Hope everyone in the US has power now :)

  One very quick one. Why does OSPF advertise loopbacks with a /32 bit mask,
  if the loopback is configured as a network ie,

  int lo 601
  ip address network 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

  many thx, and I hope someone alse has seen this.

  Kind regards,
  Ken
