Re: OSPF DR advertisement question...

Hi Tony.

In fact R5 will receive updates from both R3 and R4. R4 being DR for
Ethernet segment doesn't make any difference here, it is a kind of "link
local" entity.

Below all router are in area 0 and Ethernet segment R3<->R4 is
172.16.32.0/22, R1 (read R5 for your layout) is connected via PPP links
to both R3 and R4

Trafic share i tis case is 1, but this is irrelevant IMHO for route
propagation.

So you have to filter from both R3 and R4 on R5, I suppose.
