My understanding of this network is that R3 and R4 are two ABRs. Then
it's normal behaviour that the traffic would take the R6-R4-R2-R1
path. Once arrived at R4, the traffic reached area 1, then takes the
shortest path through the area to R1. If you want to force traffic
from R4 to R3, then add an adjacency on the R3-R3 link in area 1.
