A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF. Title : OSPF Multiple Area Links Author(s) : P. Murphy Filename : draft-ietf-ospf-mlinks-00.txt Pages : 17 Date : 17-Jul-98 This memo describes an option to the OSPF Version 2 specification which allows multiple areas to share the same link. This option adds no additional link state flooding over shared links other than the normal link state database exchange and update originating from the link's configured primary area. The option applies to standard areas, stub areas, and NSSAreas. It eliminates the excess Area 0 link state baggage that accompanies the use of virtual links as currently practiced when configuring similar transits for standard OSPF areas. Routers with this option configured are backward compatible with routers running the standard OSPF Version 2 compliant implementation as defined in RFC 2328, and can be restricted to a subset of the OSPF routing domain. This option is applied only on OSPF border routers. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-ospf-mlinks-00.txt". A URL for the Internet-Draft is: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ospf-mlinks-00.txt Internet-Drafts directories are located at: Africa: ftp.is.co.za Europe: ftp.nordu.net ftp.nis.garr.it Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au US East Coast: ftp.ietf.org US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu Internet-Drafts are also available by mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ospf-mlinks-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
