What a good question, best I've seen for a while :-)
Check out the NSSA RFC 3101. Here it states:
".......then apply the following priorities in
deciding which LSA is preferred:
1. A Type-7 LSA with the P-bit set.
2. A Type-5 LSA.
3. The LSA with the higher router ID."
The P-bit basically means do you want to translate the
Type 7 LSA to a Type 5 LSA at the NSSA ABR. By
default, this is set.
IMO, this means NSSA is chosen over Type 5 LSAs as per
the above extract from the RFC.
Anyone else have any comments?
