When using unnumbered interfaces OSPF uses the MIB IfIndex value instead
of the addresses so you can have adjacencies over interfaces unnumbered
to different networks.

I found that out reading this doc last week.

With OSPF, isn't the rule for neighbors to be on common subnet relaxed
when using ip unnumbered?
