Jano,

There was a thread on this in the past few weeks. You might find some good
posts in the archives. The only difference is how OSPF handles the
forwarding address in type 5 LSAs. With a 0.0.0.0 mask, the ASBR will
always send its own address. With a network mask it can save a hop across a
multicaccess network by putting the route source address as the forwarding
address. There is also a good paper on this on the Netmasterclass.net site
under READiT.

HTH,
