Re: single area ospf with or without are 0

You can tell this is a CCIE group ... here we are discussing how to make
things work however we want them too. Pretty cool ...

;-)

My fav OSPF reading is still the design guide. A bit incomplete when it
comes to iSPF, timers, etc ... but really good reading overall.

Can you configure and design whatever you want? Probably ... you can; I
believe in you.

Should you? If going for your lab, then read the lab guide and follow it
word for word!

If deploying this in real life ... do not ask "can I make this work?" but
rather ask "what are the best practices?"

(rhetorical questions):
Why not a stub area?
Why choose any area type?
What can't be done in a stub area, and does this meet your needs?

Cool stuff guys. Just my .02c as well ...
