Hi Pierre-Alex,

Please correct me if I am wrong but is Area 34 dual homed to Area 0 (for eg
does 150.1.3.3 have another connection to area 0). I am just trying to
understand how you have a summary LSA from 150.1.3.3 for that particular
network. Could you post a diagram and a show ip ospf data summary from
150.1.3.3 as well.

Regardless atleast from my understanding in order for loop prevention the
area 0 summary LSA should be preferred. In this case the metric for the
route received from 150.1.3.3 is also higher than the one received from
150.1.2.2.

I don't think you should see that summary from 150.1.3.3 but maybe I am
missing something over here. Can someone else please confirm this or correct
me if I am wrong. Thx
