virtual link transit summary lsa

[Kishore Kumar Y <[e-mail]>]

          backbone                   transit area 1           area 2
  -----------R1-----------------R2----------------------R3-------
   10.0.0.1        20.0.0.x              30.0.0.x               40.0.0.1


i configured a virtual link between router R2 and R3.
the cost for each interface is 10.

my doubt is at router R3 10.0.0.0 network route entry path type
should be INTER AREA or INTRA AREA.

according to RFC 2328 section 16.3
while doing Transit summary lsa calculation path type should remain
same INTRA AREA or INTER AREA found during calculation 16.1 and 16.2

i feel path type should be INTRA AREA though the path is through transit
area.
