Amit,
Apart from extensive applicability in TE, opaque LSAs are used in other
places...

Router Capability Exchange:
draft-galand-an-routing-00.txt

IPv6 in IPv4 AS deployments
draft-many-ngtrans-connect-ipv6-igp-00.txt

BGP MPLS VPNs/TE
draft-jamieson-mpls-vpn-00.txt
draft-abarbanel-idr-bgp4-te-01.txt

If you are just looking for an e.g. for an application of opaque LSA's you
can have a look at
the ospf-hitless-restart by John which use opaque LSA's to inform other
ospf routers of the
intention to do a hitless-restart (use by OSPF).

Regards,
Manav
