Internal Router
Internal Router
A router located within a single OSPF area, handling intra-area communication.
Area Border Router (ABR)
Area Border Router (ABR)
A router that connects multiple OSPF areas to the backbone area (Area 0), summarizing inter-area routes and propagating them.
Backbone Router (BR)
Backbone Router (BR)
A router located in the backbone area (Area 0), responsible for handling inter-area and external connectivity.

Study Notes
2020 Paper - Question 3 (a)
- Router Types in Multi-Area OSPF:
- Backbone Router (BR): Located in Area 0 (backbone).
- Area Border Router (ABR): Connects multiple areas to the backbone.
- Internal Router (IR): Located within a single area.
- Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR): Connects to external networks or different routing domains.
2020 Paper - Question 3 (a)(ii)
- LSA Usage by Router Types:
- Internal Routers (IRs): Use LSA types 1 and 2 for intra-area communication.
- Area Border Routers (ABRs): Summarize and propagate inter-area routes using LSA types 1, 2, and 3.
- Autonomous System Boundary Routers (ASBRs): Advertise external routes using LSA types 4 and 5.
- Backbone Routers (BRs): Ensure inter-area and external connectivity by processing all LSA types.
2020 Paper - Question 3 (iv)(A)
- Effect of Making Area 51 a Totally Stubby Area:
- Blocks External and Inter-Area Routes: Completely blocks external routes (Type 5 LSAs) and inter-area routes (Type 3 LSAs).
- Minimal Routing Table: Routers in Area 51 only store intra-area routes (Type 1 LSAs) and a single default route for all other traffic.
- Improved Scalability and Performance: Reduces the size of the routing table, saving memory and CPU resources. Optimal for small areas not needing detailed inter-area or external routing.
2020 Paper - Question 3 (iv)(B)
- New LSA Types in IPv6 Implementations:
- Type 8 (Link-LSA): Advertises IPv6 link-local addresses and associated network information on the same link.
- Type 9 (Intra-Area-Prefix LSA): Advertises IPv6 prefixes for a specific OSPF area. Replaces Type 3, 4, and 5 LSAs in IPv4 OSPF for IPv6 routing.
2020 Paper - IPv6 Implementation and OSPF Virtual Link Concepts.
- OSPF Virtual Link: A logical connection used to establish OSPF adjacency between routers where direct connectivity to the backbone area (Area 0) isn't possible.
- Purpose of OSPF Virtual Link:
- Connects disjointed Area 0 segments.
- Provides Backbone connectivity to non-backbone areas. Allows an area to function as a transit area for connecting other areas to Area 0.
