Re: Why a transit area cannot be a stub area?

Hi Hoogen,

Recall that a VL is not a traffic-bearing tunnel in the classic sense
(i.e. it's not like a GRE tunnel with additional encapsulation that
gets traffic where it needs to go). So think of what might happen to
transit traffic if you dropped it off into a stub area with a limited
view of the topology. See the problem?

Regards,

Scott
