Peter,

When PE report the route as Type3 LSA to CE (redistributed, might be huge in
number), In this scenario is there a good mechanism to aggregate Type3 LSAs
at PE before sending to CE.

For such kind of Type3 Aggregation should we use backbone area range since
PE router is considered as integral part of OSPF backbone?

Thanks
Rajesh

AT PE ..

Keshava,

it's up to the implementation how it handles the aggregation of the BGP 
redistributed prefixes on PE. The most obvious choice is to treat it the 
same way as regular redistribution in which case an external LSA is 
generated for the summary itself.

RFC4577 only specifies the behavior when no aggregation is done on PE:

    In the following, we specify what is reported, in OSPF LSAs, by the
    PE to the CE, assuming that the PE is not configured to do any
    further summarization or filtering of the routing information before
    reporting it to the CE."

thanks,
Peter
