No Capability Transit
How the OSPF Area Transit Capability Feature Works
The OSPF Area Transit Capability feature is enabled by default. RFC 2328
defines OSPF area transit capability as the ability of the area to carry
data traffic that neither originates nor terminates in the area itself. This
capability enables the OSPF ABR to discover shorter paths through the
transit area and forward traffic along those paths rather than using the
virtual link or path, which are not as optimal.
For a detailed description of OSPF area transit capability, refer to RFC
2328, OSPF Version 2 at the following URL:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2328.html
