OSPF Multi-Area Adjacency
RFC 5185, “OSPF Multi-Area Adjacency”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2008 by S. Mirtorabi, P. Psenak, A. Lindem, A. Oswal. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes an extension to the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol to allow a single physical link to be shared by multiple areas. This is necessary to allow the link to be considered an intra-area link in multiple areas. This would create an intra- area path in each of the corresponding areas sharing the same link. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
