Re: E1 Vs N OSPF routes

Bryan you quoted the wrong thing ;) That one is referring to the case when
you are dealing with two Type 7 LSA

Here is the correct quote from the RFC:
"

If the current LSA is functionally the same as an

              installed LSA (i.e., same destination, cost and non-zero
              forwarding address) 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.
