| and about networks outside the OSPF AS. |
| Stub - This area is an stub area. It has routing information about the OSPF AS but |
| not about networks outside the OSPF AS. It depends on a default route to send |
| information outside the OSPF AS. |
| NSSA - This area is a Not So Stubby Area (NSSA), per RFC 1587. It has routing |
| information about the OSPF AS and networks that are outside the OSPF AS and |
| are directly connected to the NSSA. It does not have information about other |
| networks outside the OSPF AS. |
