Dear All,

  I have some OSPF questions and hope to find answers to

1- Why the " ip ospf network point-to-multipoint " was invented ? Shouldn't
the " ip ospf network broadcast" takecare of NBMA networks problem and form
adjacency?

2- When trying to solve the NBMA problem when it is better to use the
broadcast network type versus the point-to-multipoint type, versus stating
the neighbors explicitly ?

3- What is the situation would where I need to use " ip ospf network
point-to-multipoint non-broadcast " ?

4- In OSPF. Why distribute-list is always applied on in direction and not
the out ?

5- When distributing routes into OSPF, Is is mandatory to use the "
default-metric "command or redistribution can be done without using this
command

Regards,
Yasser
