Table 5-19. Routers Links Advertisement Continued

Network Links Advertisements

Network links advertisements are Type 2 link state advertisements. A network links advertisement is originated for each transit network in the area. A transit network is a multi-access network that has more than one attached router. The network links advertisement is originated by the network’s Designated router. The advertisement describes all routers attached to the network, including the Designated Router itself. The advertisement’s Link State ID field lists the IP interface address of the Designated Router.

The distance form the network to all attached routers is zero, for all TOS. This is why the TOS and metric fields need not be specified in the network links advertisement.

The format of the Network Links Advertisement is shown below:
