Hi,

  For a numbered point-to-point link, a router has two options to declare a stub link <link id,link data>:
  1) <subnet number, subnet mask>
  2) <endpoint ip address, all 1's mask>
  as decribed in RFC2328 section 12.4.1.1 page 130.
  Two questions to ask:
  1) what is the mostly widely used option on the current Internet?
  2) I think different routers in an OSPF area can use different options without causing any problems, right?

Best Regards,

Zhongjie Li
