Or if you are "holding" networks that are used for dialer pools, VPN pools
or NAT pools, they must exist on an interface in order to be advertised.
There are many real-world needs for masks other than /32 on a loopback
interface!

Subject: Re: OSPF Question
I think the only purpose of letting us advertise networks as /32 or not as
/32 (loopbacks) is that they want to know if we are familiar with the
different ospf network types...
:-)
I think there is no deeper background on this..
