In case of p2mp networks, type 3 links used to describe the interface address
is omitted to hide the network.
This can cause problems in the next hop calculation in certain cases and in my
opinion it is better to avoid installing a certain route (as done in case of
broadcast networks in this draft) rather than completely omitting it.
Consider a scenario when p2mp interfaces are configured in the NSSA area.
A---------B
|
------C
A,B and C are connected over a p2mp network configured in NSSA area.
B & C are ASBRs importing external routes. B & C will have to include
forwarding address corresponding to interface address when they advertise
external LSA to A.
We cannot hide the p2mp network in the above scenario as type 3 stub-links are
completely omitted, we cannot resolve the forwarding address for the external
LSAs originated by B & C.
